Vegas Concierge: Sex Trafficking, Hip Hop, and Corruption in America

Summary

Vegas Concierge is the riveting inside story of a decade-long investigation into sex tracking, police corruption, and hip-hop music in Sin City.

A layered saga spanning more than a decade, Vegas Concierge moves from the luxury hotel rooms on the Las Vegas Strip to the inner offices of the Las Vegas police and some of Nevada’s biggest news organizations. Using public and private records as well as exclusive first-person accounts from primary sources, this book shows how prostitutes and pimps ply their trade, how law enforcement agencies trip on themselves and their investigations become compromised, and how self-interest corrupts news organizations and the corridors of power. More than anything, this book examines the disregard American society has toward sex tracking victims.

“An investigative journalism tour de force on a painful problem that ultimately compels clearer-eyed action—and a page-turner of a book."—Duff Wilson, investigative reporter and three-time Pulitzer finalist
