Consider American Kingpin by Nick Bilton. Recommended by 11 sources.
“Nick Bilton writes a page-turning, reportorial account of Silk Road’s rise and fall, mixing newsroom detail with thriller pacing.

If you want scene-level reporting and dramatic chronology rather than deep legal or policy analysis, it delivers.”
