Description:

“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* Award-winning investigative journalist and contributing *Wired* editor Scott Carney leads readers 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. **
