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.

Critic reviews

“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)

Immortality seems to find its way towards a spectrum of unimaginable suffering. Driven by a market of maddening greed!

Crazy to think what people are doing around the world due to their desperation. Those in extreme poverty are selling their organs, dying on blood farms, their children are stolen and sold to first world countries etc. people are not people, they are cash cows….nothing more than a product. Their organs, fluids, or bodily sacrifice is disguised as a good deed but then they are left with little or no money and worse health. The dead cant even rest, they are ripped from the ground and dismembered. We are all products and consumers of the red market. How can we make it better? Very good question.

I took a star off because the narrator will repeat himself. This happened every once in awhile. He might of lost track of where he was and picked up on the recording but the redundancy was slightly annoying but only slightly.

I don’t usually write a review but rather just rate them but I must say I learned new information about black market organ trading or should I say organ donation.
I enjoyed this book and thank you Scott Carney for the butchered attempt of an Indian accent. (To those who might not know, the voice you hear on scam centers located in India, but worse).

Great information about organ trading

I have listened to this book because I liked What Doesen't Kill Us. It's totally unrelated except the great journalism, writing style and narration by Scott Carney.
the book deals with some horrifying stuff like organ harvesting and child kidnapping but its stuff more people should know about. It raises interesting questions about ethics and economy.

an important book on an overlooked subject

Another excellent work by Scott Carney. A detailed insight into the world of human organs and the economics and ethics of human trafficking. Love thr end about cell grown organs and stem cells. I would listen to this book again.

Another great one by Scott Carney.

This book is longer than it should be but it's still worth the time and money.

Good but not great

Good story and performance, but lots of sloppy editing with duplicated lines. Didn’t anybody check this before they published?

Lots of dupes
