Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science and is defined as the process of obtaining, interpreting and uncovering electronic data from electronic storage devices. The purpose of this process is to preserve the probative value of any evidence so that it can be of use in a court of law. The exponential growth in volume of data with the proliferation of a wide variety of devices and formats has led to rise in use of digital forensics. According to research conducted by IndustryARC, the maximum use of Digital Forensics is done by the federal sector and will grow from $1,097.2 Million in 2015 to $2,060.5 Million by 2020. The concerns of corporate sector regarding IP theft, data protection and security are also being addressed with digital forensics. Many banking institutions are pro-actively using digital forensics tools to study the digital footprint and online behavior of their employees.

Challenges to cloud forensics can broadly be categorized into technical, legal, and organizational challenges. Such challenges occur when technical, legal, or organizational tasks become impeded or prevent the examination by the digital forensics examiner. There are many stakeholders involved in cloud forensics activities, including members of government, industry, and academia. Presence of different cloud architectures, need for data collection from virtual machines, role of anti-forensics, data ownership role management issues, jurisdiction and privacy concerns and lack of trained personnel are the main challenges faced by this budding segment currently.

Various forensics tools are used in various sectors, namely private, government, federal and corporate. The private companies prefer private investigators so as to maintain confidentiality and the government monitors and analyze cyber-crimes through digital forensics. Similarly, federal agencies use digital forensic science to prosecute criminals, investigate crimes, collect evidences, and train examiners for duties within a nation while corporate sector use digital forensics to monitor and solve the corporate frauds.

Electronic discovery or eDiscovery is the process in which electronic data is sought, searched, located, secured, and searched with the intent of using it as evidence in legal case. eDiscovery tools are being used to identify duplicate documents via hashing and some also detect near-duplicates. eDiscovery tools are currently also being used in law enforcement and in regulatory agencies of most of the developed countries. The present applications of these tools have shifted from providing a simple review of a client for a non-technical investigator to the entire lifecycle of complex cases with various teams working together on an investigation. The developments in technology have added different ways of working and also have raised the need of high investment. The range of people involved has increased to understand all the dimensions of the case. The implications are discussed with investigators along with the technical staff so as to achieve a working solution.

Someone's trying to frame Hurley, from killing his ex-girlfriend to burning down David's house with Hurley's gas can to attempting to abduct Mattie. But who and why? Under suspicion, Hurley goes on the run and enlists Mattie's help in figuring out who's behind it all.

Good, but not great. I didn't devour this one like I did the other books in the series. I can't put my finger on why, some momentum was lost after the second book. But there was a lot to like in this one, from more background on Hurley (who is the series's least developed character, IMHO) to the old detective Bob (the gym scene made me laugh out loud!) to the great plot with a surprising twist at the end, there's no way I ever saw that coming. Although enjoyable, I found myself putting it aside in favor of other books more than once.

Cleveland's police forensic scientist, Maggie Gardiner is called to the most gruesome murder scene imaginable.  The victim, a CEO of a mortgage lending firm has met a horrible death and it's Maggie's job to help police detective, Jack Renner catch the murderer.  Without any clues to go on, the deranged psychopath hones in on his next victims.

Perish is the first book I've read by author, Lisa Black.  It is the third book in the Gardiner and Renner series. I would benefit reading the first two books in the series to understand the secretive and strange relationship between Gardiner and Renner; even though flashbacks were given to figure it out.

Thirty percent into reading, I began to pull away from the story.  There was so much detailed writing about mortgage lending and unsavory practices which I didn't understand. However, Ms. Black soon redeemed herself and the "meat and potatoes" were served again.

The elaborate specifics of the murder scenes are attributed to Ms. Black's expertise as a forensic scientist and latent print examiner.  The descriptive, gruesome murder scenes and gathering evidence procedures could only be told by an expert....impressive! 

I truly enjoyed reading Perish by Lisa Black.  I will definitely read the first two books in the Gardiner and Renner series.

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington for the ARC for my honest review.
