Tracers in the dark is a fascinating and thrilling work of non-fiction that offers a detailed analysis of some of the most notorious cyber crimes right from its inception. From the Bridges/Force case and Mt. Gox to Silk Road, Alpha Bay, Hansa, Welcome to Video, BTC-e, and recent ransomware attacks, each story is told in a captivating and informative way. The author's ability to weave together a coherent narrative that provides a behind-the-scenes look at the intricate operations of these criminal networks and the methods law enforcement agencies use to track them down is truly remarkable.

What sets this book apart is the author's clear and concise writing style, which makes even the most technical aspects of cybercrime accessible to readers. The book provides a rare glimpse into how investigators broke a supposedly unbreakable blockchain, a testament to the author's knowledge and expertise. Additionally, the book effectively debunks the myth that cryptocurrencies provide privacy. Instead, it shows how law enforcement agencies can use blockchain to trace and track cryptocurrency transactions, thereby identifying criminals and bringing them to justice.

Tracers in the dark is a must-read for anyone interested in cybercrime, law enforcement, or technology. It is a captivating and informative work of non-fiction that is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats. With its detailed analysis of each case, clear and concise writing style, and insightful commentary on the world of cybercrime, this book would make an excellent source for a multi-season TV series.
