He didn't just chase cybercriminals-he became one of them.
In this electrifying blend of true crime, cyber espionage, and undercover spycraft, former U.S. Secret Service agent Richard LaTulip recounts his covert mission to infiltrate one of the world's most dangerous online criminal networks.
Operating under an alias, LaTulip embedded himself deep inside the digital underground, building trust with elite carders, traffickers, and hackers, while secretly gathering the intelligence that would bring them down.
Operation Carder Kaos offers a rare inside look at the murky world of cybercrime, where deception is currency and exposure can be deadly. It's a high-stakes, real-world thriller about betrayal, digital warfare, and the price of living two lives.
For readers of spy thrillers, cybercrime exposes, and intelligence memoirs, this is the true story they've never heard-told by the agent who lived it.
