From award-winning author David Edward comes the gritty and powerful Dirk Lasher Short Read, Meat Market. Short reads are bite-sized adventures for new and old Dirk Lasher fans alike.

The soldiers called them the Meat Markets. Gathering places outside of US military posts all around Central America, where a good time was just a few negotiations and a few dollars away. Some locals went looking to pass the time; some went to make some money. The dark criminal underworld couldn't resist the chance to feed off base human desire.

When Dirk Lasher and Isa Kern encounter a kidnapping-in-progress, they sprint into action. They are forced to balance their moral responsibility of trying to help the victims with their overarching mission of stamping the secret organization's global sex trade out of existence.

This Short Read takes place immediately before the events of Ground Game, the next Dirk Lasher Thriller.
