Bad Traffic, the new crime novel by Simon Lewis, is supposedly the
only UK book ever to receive a cover blurb by Elmore Leonard-- who calls it a "honey: suspense that never loses its grip" and I certainly don't disagree, the book is exciting enough to incite a stomach-ache, and-- like every good crime novel-- you learn a new term from the underworld . . . "snakehead."

Snakeheads - Chinese gangs that smuggle people into other countries. They present a pretty interesting problem... we stop the human trafficking and they go back to opium. Open debate: Do we let them trade humans, or once again ruin their country with narcotics?
It was a topic that should have been more important in the election, Obama is actually pro-human trade while John McCain is pro applesauce. I don't think he understood the question.
