A comprehensive look at the world of illicit trade.



Trade Review
"Shelley unpeels [organized crime’s] disturbing dynamics today through case studies such as Silk Road, a vastly lucrative cybersupermarket, and the much-documented illegal market in rhino horn . . . and she lucidly lays out the dark economy’s planetary costs, as it escalates biodiversity loss and deforestation."---Barb Kiser, Nature
"[A] useful survey of varying kinds of black and dark markets."---Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution
"This is an informative study of the vast and pervasive problem of criminal trade." * Publishers Weekly *
"This is a refreshingly straightforward economic study." * Pennsylvania Literary Journal *
