Great book! Stayed up way too late reading it in one sitting. The psychological tension between O'Neill, the junior officer tasked to spy on his boss - the sketchy, irascible and magnificently traitorous master spy Robert Hanssen - is palpable. The mounting marital pressures and O'Neill's inability to talk about his work to his wife - or rather, the legal requirement to lie about it constantly - ratchets up the drama another notch. Why bother with Le Carré when you can read about the real thing?

This book should have been half as long. It was an interesting story, but there was too much filler.

Absolutely mind boggling how Robert Hanssen went 20 years selling the US government’s secrets to Russia without being caught! He always managed somehow to escape detection due to a series of missteps by the FBI. The author, Eric O’Neill, was the face of the operation that lead to his arrest, but it took a village. I also love learning about other cases. Fantastic read.
