Baroota is a fictional tale of Nick Hudson, an aging, retired cop attempting to get in one last mission to make a difference. He gets sucked into an off-the-books black ops mission to rescue victims of human trafficking being sold into sexual slavery.
He meets Nõnkos Zia or Nõn, a woman born in South Africa and a former victim of Muti-medicine – a type of medicine still practiced in South Africa that weaves the occult and human sacrifices into the locals belief system. She is also a victim of human trafficking, from which she barely escaped after taking revenge on her captors.
They are outsiders in a dark twisted tale of deceit, lies, and double crosses that take them to the Darien Gap in Panama, one of the most remote areas in the world, to hunt human traffickers.
Gripping This book started out just a little slow for me but soon had me in it’s grips. There is some graphic violence so if that bothers you then pass but it is so true to life.

This has all the signs of being an awesome series. This has all the signs of being an awesome series…….was extremely hard to not read in one sitting.I use my books to escape work at lunch which means I have to put it away until next lunch and not take it out when I get home and read the whole thing! This one was so very hard to not pull out and finish!Well Done Zach!!!!! You are on the road! I hope you continue….can’t wait for the next in the series!!!!
Suspense, humor, with a dash of darkness. I LOVE IT!!! Author, Zach Fortier knocked it out of the park with this one. I have read all of his books and this is one I could not put down. This book is a mixture of suspense, humor with a bit of darkness all in one. Just when you think you know what will happen next, BAM! you get a huge surprise. The twists in each chapter is what kept me on my toes. This book is not for the weak. This book is for the strong. I highly recommend this book. #GoodRead
