About this ebook

Who's Running the Human Chop Shop Known as Red Market?

Halloween is fast approaching. For bail enforcement agent Jinx Ballou, work has taken a turn for the macabre. Among the fugitives she's been hired to apprehend is Donnie Krueger, a man charged with illegally selling cadavers.

When Krueger himself turns up dead, Jinx finds herself behind the eight ball as the prime suspect in his murder.

Desperate to clear her name, Jinx dives deep into Krueger's morbid business dealings. What she discovers is far more gruesome—a site on the dark web called Red Market where body parts are harvested from the vulnerable and sold to the privileged.

Will Jinx bring down this black market of body parts, or end up carved like a jack-o’-lantern, her organs sold to the highest bidder?

As one of the few openly transgender authors in the mystery/thriller genre, Dharma Kelleher delivers yet another heartfelt crime thriller that delves deep into the issues of freedom, power, and accountability.

Red Market is the fifth thriller in the highly acclaimed Jinx Ballou Bounty Hunter crime fiction series, although each book in the series can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Curl up with Red Market and join Jinx on an action-packed thrill ride that will leave you cheering for more.

Ratings and reviews

This series is past the best and far more than entertainment. Ultimately about right and wrong, power and fairness and love. Of many kinds. Woven from issues ripped from the headlines and the hearts and minds and truths of very real people living in the fallout that is today's world. Full of adventure, courage, suspense and more. Diversity is not just a buzzword. In a crowded world the walls and fences won't hold forever! Especially the flimsy ones we create in our heads, built of fear and ignorance. Jinx and her band of heroes are authentic. I want to be them, know them and live in a world with them.
