Novel Inspired by American Woman Kidnapped by the Cartel

There was a beautiful, young American woman in Tijuana, Mexico. Then she disappeared.

"Kidnapped by the Cartel: A Novel Inspired by a True Story" is based on author Karen D. Scioscia's true experience with the Mexican Cartel. The young American girl was her niece, and she was kidnapped by the Cartel. Karen D. Scioscia was a member of the frantic search party.

The U.S. State Department has warned against non-essential travel in the violent Mexican border cities of Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez.

This action-packed novel takes the reader into the putrid depths of Tijuana, Mexico, where a young American woman was taken against her will. Drugged and tortured, she lived in constant fear for her life. After being used and abused, the captive was destined for the Cartel's prostitution trade.

Kidnapped by the Cartel reveals Tijuana's slimy backstreets and opens the doors into the secret covens of Mexican organized crime, a labyrinth where many are lost forever. A dramatic rescue may be the woman's last hope.
