Trap, Prey, Lust: The hidden sexual crimes of the rich and famous Carolyn Shanti. Filament Publishing, £14.99 A different book for Social Work News readers; this hard-hitting novel is an expose of the lasting effects that childhood abuse can have. Based in the setting of exclusive London clubs, the superrich clientele entertain themselves in the highs of their nightly sexual sports. Always looking for the next sexual high, the senior members of the club are famous men whose wealth and position have protected them from punishment until their crimes are exposed‌ This book was written by Carolyn Shanti as a narration of her own childhood abuse. Brought up in a wealthy, privileged family, Carolyn suffered ritual sexual abuse by her own father as well as members of the occult society that he belonged to. She was groomed by her abusers to prevent her from remembering the abuse or her perpetrators. This is a hard-hitting novel. The author hopes her book will demonstrate the seriousness of sexual abuse, and the cultures which condone them.
