Retired Sgt. R.A. (Bob) Morgan of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary agrees, “It is a Reckoning, with a vengeance! Escott tells a fascinating story that needed to be told about the exploitation of the most vulnerable in society, our children. Many writers would shy away from such topics, but Escott with her background in the RCMP, tackles this head on in Operation Wormwood 2: The Reckoning. It is a roller coaster ride with many twists and turns. It holds you from the start and forces you to sit there until you turn the last page.”
