Synopsis:
Nearly every week the headlines of national newspapers shout allegations about the latest credit card fraud, internet paedophile, or major corporations whose computers have been hacked. But what people may not realize is that the nature of computer crime is becoming even more sophisticated. The role computers play in crime, and in particular the detection and prosecution of crime has never been as significant as it is today.
In a gripping true-life detective story, ex-hacker and now one of the UK’s leading crime experts Neil Barrett guides us into a world where the seemingly innocuous computer screen can provide a window into the mind of even the most hardened criminal. Through some of his own high profile cases, Barrett show us the cutting edge of modern crime. It is a dimly-lit world where hackers pit their wits, man to man, with the police experts and where the digital detective is the latest and best weapon in the police arsenal.
From the Inside Flap: A detective-story look at the role computers play in a wider variety of crimes today than just high-tech offenses. It is a world where the digital detective is the latest and best weapon in the police arsenal.
