Nick Bilton has issued a fantastic modern true-crime thriller. The
book moves at a stunning pace while packed full of exquisite
reporting and detail. It delivers a vivid picture of what happens
when genius, ambition, and depravity collide, as well as a study on
the complex interplay between good and evil.
*ASHLEE VANCE, author of Elon Musk*
Engrossing, addictive, suspenseful, riveting—this book hooked me on
page one and I could not put it down. American Kingpin is the best
thing I’ve read in ages. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
*DAN LYONS, author of Disrupted*
I dare you not to read this book in one sitting. Masterfully
reported and written, Bilton’s book drops you hard into the dark
heart of the most famous Internet crime to date. A first-rate
thrill.

In American Kingpin, Nick Bilton again proves why he’s one of
tech’s best storytellers with a stunningly researched and very
scary portrait of the creator of a marketplace gone mad, and the
oddly uncoordinated officers who took him down.
