Summary: I could not put this book down
Comment: A real page turner! I loved this book! I thought it would be dry and technical, but it was surprisingly accessible. It was very breezy. A fun and very informative read.

Thanks to Joe Anastasi for writing this book. I hope that he has another book in the works detailing more investigations because this book ended too soon!

Rating: 4
Summary: A darn fine read!
Comment: I found this a very good book, strong in fact and obviously fictionalised for legal reasons in others. The way computers are ingrained in everyday life today everybody should be aware of the dangers of computer memory, Anastasi shows and explains for the layperson and expert alike the do's and dont's of computer use or misuse! and gives a preview of how in the future it will only get to be a more invasive machine.

Summary: neither fish nor fowl
Comment: I, for one, don't want to read about fictional investigations. But that is not the only issue here. First, the subject is supposed to be investigating corporate fraud. As another reviewer noted, however, the only subject covered is computer techniques. The actual tracking of the fraud never really appears in any detail. I was expecting a tale of actual processes and insights into actual crimes; however, the book stops short at the recovery of information from computers. The interesting part would be how one piece of info leads to another and suggests other places to look. But nothing is looked at that closely, so the excitement is lost. I also agree with the other reviewer that the relevance of the dog-mauling case is tangential at best. Even in chapters with strong subject matter, such as the investigation of the swiss handling of jewish acounts, the prose is lifeless and conclusory; it does not follow the trail of the adventure.
