Yeah I actually did read that too. I enjoyed it a lot, but it was kind of so over the top so quickly that it never felt as grounded.

Silk Road, where the story takes place in Austin and San Fransisco and the culprit never really stops being a pretty normal fellow (as far as anyone really could tell from the outside) was particularly fascinating.

The author in this tale also had access to practically every discussion ever conducted in the Silk Road chatrooms, so it is a very complete story with very little guess work.

I'd recommend both books for sure.
