They say "What You See Is What You Get"... but Kevin "Boingthump"
Phenicle could always see more than most people. In the world of phone
phreaks, hackers, and scammers, he's a legend. His exploits are hotly

pay phone? Did his video-game piracy scheme accidentally trigger the

wiretapping software against them? Is he even a real person? And if
he's ever caught, what would happen to a geek like him in federal
prison? Inspired by the incredible stories of real-life hackers,
Wizzygig is the thrilling tale of a master manipulator - his journey
from precocious child scammer to federally-wanted fugitive, and beyond.
In a world transformed by social networks and data leaks, Ed Piskor's

Green River Killer by Jeff Jensen
Throughout
the 1980s, the highest priority of Seattle-area police was the
apprehension of the Green River Killer, the man responsible for the
murders of dozens of women. But in 1990, with the body count numbering
at least forty-eight, the case was put in the hands of a single
detective, Tom Jensen. After twenty years, when the killer was finally
captured with the help of DNA technology, Jensen and fellow detectives
spent 188 days interviewing Gary Leon Ridgway in an effort to learn his
most closely held secrets-an epic confrontation with evil that proved as
disturbing and surreal as can be imagined. Written by Jensen's own son,
acclaimed entertainment journalist Jeff Jensen, Green River Killer: A True Detective Story presents the ultimate insider's account of America's most prolific serial killer.
