"Mr. Wells has done it again! Like a computer program, he consistently uses his inherent abilities to filter complex fraud schemes, as written by those who found them, into simple truths complete with prevention and detection techniques. As the world becomes more digital by the day, anyone seriously interested in fighting fraud will need to equip themselves with the appropriate tools, and the Computer Fraud Casebook provides a perfect road map for this journey."
