When the uncle dies, he becomes pray to Camilo Estorbar, a cruel man who deals with drugs and manages a small but profitable under-age prostitution ring using teenagers brought into the country illegally.

When a prostitute is taken to the hospital in severe conditions, Detective Stevenson of the London Police Service is called to investigate. The no-name, no-papers young girl dies soon after. Louis’ path crosses with Stevenson’s and the two play cat-and-mouse: Stevenson wants to extort info from Louis, Louis wants to avoid any involvement with the authorities.

Louis doesn’t seem a sizable opponent for Estorbar; yet he manages to escape most of the traps Estorbar sets up for him and offers Stevenson a chance to confront the criminal.

From Reviews on Amazon.
From Bettie Corbin Tucker, author, book reviewer.
Rene Natan in the writing of Fleeting Visions has, once again, displayed her creative ability, lively imagination, and natural talent as her words develop an intriguing plot and generate characters through vivid description and realistic dialog. Once outside the bound pages of this thriller, I found myself analyzing the major characters, pondering their actions and how they had each played into this fascinating storyline; it is an extremely well-written book.

From Earl Reylan Sarsuelo
One thing I really love most about these kinds of stories is that the continuity and the interconnection of scenes and events are puzzling enough to be interesting but not reaching to a point where readers dont get any idea over it - they dont get BLANK. Rene Natan wrote this book with ease and the concept is somewhat very clear in her mind; I was envisioning everything as I read.
