Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider American Kingpin by Nick Bilton. Recommended by 12 sources.
“Nick Bilton writes a page-turning, reportorial account of Silk Road’s rise and fall, mixing newsroom detail with thriller pacing. Its useful part is the step-by-step reconstruction: setup, marketplace mechanics, the role of cryptocurrency, and the cat-and-mouse between operators and investigators. The limitation is episodic repetition—periods of breathless narrative alternate with long procedural or technical detours that pad runtime and undercut momentum. If you want scene-level reporting and dramatic chronology rather than deep legal or policy analysis, it delivers.”
