The Red Market: On the Trail of the World's Organ Brokers, Bone Thieves, Blood Farmers, and Child Traffickers

On the Red Market you can buy anything—from hair for extensions to kidneys for transplants. But the laws of this market, like the laws of any shady business, are anything but obvious. The market for human bodies exists in a parallel reality—it’s distant and, at the same time, very close.

In this book, journalist Scott Carney, who worked for BBC and National Geographic TV, tells you how this parallel world is structured.
