challenging dark informative mysterious tense medium-paced

5.0

A gripping account of the criminal investigations of several Internet dark markets and how the once believed anonymous payment system of Bitcoin was used to facilitate some of the largest busts in criminal history. 

Greenberg gives a thrilling account that weaves solid biographical retelling with the drama of the chase. A solid addition to the cyber security canon that can be enjoyed by the casual true crime reader to the cyber security professional.

The first 3/4 of this book is a really fun and exciting cop chasing bad guys story. Then it gets reeeeeally dark as they talk about some dark corners of the dark web. They give a heads up in the introduction, but even without extensive description it is really bleak.

Andy does a fantastic job of taking real events and weaving a gripping story out of them. Even if you're unfamiliar with some "cyber" concepts, Andy makes it approachable and easy to digest. Creating characters out of real people, thrillers out of true events-- this is a great follow up to Sandworm!
