Neil Barrett's "Traces of Guilt", was a fun a read as someone who enjoyed watch Gil Grissom in CSI led his team to success in solving murders. Throughout its 14 chapters, Neil, takes through his early career in 1996 to 2003. We see the evolution of computer hacker persona from a hobbyist that could not be prosecuted to the ability to be tried as a terrorist after 9/11. Neil, shows us the trials and tribulations of convicting pedophiles, robbers and estranged lovers. He teaches us how to maintain evidence, and how not to. While not filled with extensive details or methodologies, this book teaches the theory and craft of being a computer forensic investigator.
