About this listen

Barry Oberholzer’s secret life as a confidential informant, infiltrating international organized crime syndicates and sanction-busting activity, hit the headlines in 2012. Oberholzer reported an array of vital intelligence to the CIA and multiple intelligence agencies across the world. For years, he has worked across the Middle East and behind the scenes as a confidential informant making connections, extracting valuable intelligence, and facing off against America's greatest enemy at every turn.

In The Black Market Concierge, he opens a window into his double life as an informant; informing on the role of key players including major corporations, crime syndicates, politicians, and government officials in high-value international smuggling operations.

After exposing corruption at the highest levels of government in South Africa, he is ready to give a no-holds-barred account of what it is like to live the life of a high-level, confidential informant.

His memoir is a searingly honest account of a boy aviation enthusiast who cascaded into the world of international espionage. It is a testimony that will move even the most coldhearted.

Thrilling, intriguing and inspirational!

This book will leave you with a deeper sense of the selfless sacrifice so many willing go through to make the world a safer place.

As a South African, it will also cement the fact that we live in an intensely corrupt country, an irredeemable place of injustice, inequality, and cruelty.

It will sadden but not surprise every citizen that the people named in this book, while pretending to be leaders with integrity, are the ones that belong behind bars.

There are many great, dedicated professional members of the SAPS, DCS, NPA, and the broader public that are trying to serve our beautiful country too. I know this as I have worked with some of them. But sadly, it often feels like a losing battle.

Thank you to Barry for sharing his story, his sacrifices, and those of his family. My hope now is that many, many more people, especially in SA will get the chance to read this book and to really take note of its message.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
