He calls the police, but they do not respond. Hesitantly he steps towards the alley where the cry came from. He throws one last glance over his shoulder and disappears into the dark. His life will never be the sameβ¦. Set in the Belgian cities of Brussels and Antwerp and finding its climax in Poland, homeland of the beautiful Izolda Bernarski, without whose plight this story could not be told, Schakels is a fast-paced thriller that gives insight into the methods used by human traffickers preying on women for the sex industry.
Schakels means shackles. This refers to the opening chapter of the book, when taxi driver Walter Sevenijns sets his eyes on a chained woman in the yard of a Brussels sex club. Renowned Dutch book reviewer Joop Liefaard says:. Schakels is a thriller in which suspense is interwoven with a topical and social theme, that of human trafficking and forced prostitution. A world in which every form of dignity and physical integrity are cut short in a beastly manner.
Nico de Beer's story grips your attention from the start and the suspense is built up well. The atmosphere of the various locations is striking. The reader is swayed between emotions like sympathy and hate, trust and betrayal, contrasts that are expressed well. The denoument is convincing, but when you close the book you realise that, although justice has been done, the atrocities and violent struggle for the likes of Izolda continue. And that is a bitter conclusion. Schakels is a convincing thriller.
It is a well-constructed and well-written and exciting story that evokes many emotions. Not only is the book an acclaimed thriller because of Nico de Beer's craftsmanship, it also is a true document of social mishaps that seem hard to eradicate.
Bloggerssite DeThriller says:. On the one hand Schakels is rough and without compassion, but on the other hand it shows empathy towards the victims and their loved ones. The story is told from the perspective of various characters and that turns out well. One of the traffickers is portrayed extensively and his callous and amoral attitude provides the book with a dismal touch that fits in nicely.
