Synopsis

This book uncovers the complete, authoritative account of how FBI agent Robert Hanssen, codenamed 'grayday,' spied for Russia for over two decades, leading to what is considered the 'worst intelligence disaster in U.S. history.' It details the incredible gambit by U.S. intelligence that finally led to his capture. Drawing on unique knowledge and unrivaled intelligence sources, the book explores Hanssen's mind and motives, revealing the paradox of a devout Catholic and family values defender who was also an obsessed pornographer and KGB mole. It discloses startling new details, including how the FBI obtained Hanssen's file from KGB headquarters for $7 million and the mistaken pursuit of an innocent CIA officer.
