The author of the book is Brett Shavers.   Mr. Shavers is a former law enforcement officer of a municipal police department. He has been an investigator assigned to state and federal task forces.  Brett has been an adjunct instructor at the University of Washington’s Digital Forensics Program, an expert witness and digital forensics consultant, a prolific speaker at conferences, a blogger on digital forensics, and is an honorary member of the Computer Technology Investigators Network.
