This all begain quite unexpectedly one rainy autumn evening a couple of years ago in a fairground near the centre of Nottingham. . . . . ' In amongst the bright lights and bumper cars, Nick Davies noticed two boys, no more than twelve years old. While other people were preparing for fun, they were sitting out with grim determination to do something very different. They were trying to sell their bodies. Davies discovered they were part of a network of children selling themselves on the streets of the city, running a nightly gauntlet of dangers - pimps, punters, the Vice Squad, disease, drugs. That encounter propelled Davies into a journey of discovery, through the slums and ghettoes of our cities. He found himself in crack houses and brothels, he befriended street gangs and drug dealers, he uncovered secret rites and encountered a world that was sometimes bizarre and cruel and always revealing. Nick Davies' journey into this hidden realm is powerful, disturbing and impressive, a biting work of investigative journalism peopled with extraordinary characters, laced with revelations which are bound to rouse controversy and demands for change.
