Publisher's Summary

Award-winning investigative journalist and contributing Wired editor Scott Carney leads listeners on a breathtaking journey through the macabre underworld of the global body bazaar, where organs, bones, and even live people are bought and sold on The Red Market.

As gripping as CSI and as eye-opening as Mary Roach’s Stiff, Carney’s The Red Market sheds a blazing new light on the disturbing, billion-dollar business of trading in human body parts, bodies, and child trafficking, raising issues and exposing corruptions almost too bizarre and shocking to imagine.

What the critics say

“An unforgettable nonfiction thriller, expertly reported….A tremendously revealing and twisted ride, where life and death are now mere cold cash commodities.” (Michael Largo, author of Final Exits)

Excellent book on hard topics

The book contains some very interesting stories and perspectives on subjects such as organ donation, blood donation, surrogacy and even hair donation. It gave this reader a greater idea of the value - or lack there of- of life in the developed vs the developing world.
The audio has several instances of sentences being repeated, otherwise the author reading his own work - even when doing accents - does not take away from the experience.
It’s a little dated, but overall, I would recommend.
