"Gray Day is a well-written and suspenseful story about an odd spy and the young man who helped take him down." --The Washington Times
"What job could possibly be twisty, mind-bending, and
demanding than being an undercover spy in one of the FBI's own
cybersecurity units? With resolute doggedness, shrewd psychological
instincts, and the sheer guts to make critical split-second
decisions, rookie agent Eric O'Neill helped to turn the tables on
his own boss--one of the most dangerous traitors of our time. In
Gray Day he weaves together his personal and professional stories
with all the skills of a seasoned novelist. The result is a
thrilling, page-turning brew worthy of Hollywood--only better
because it's real."--Elisabeth Elo, author of Finding
Katarina M. "Gray Day is both a real-life, tension-packed
thriller and a persuasive argument for traditional intelligence
work in the information age."--Bruce Schneier, New York
Times bestselling author of Data and Goliath and
Click Here to Kill Everybody "Gray Day is a fascinating
read about catching infamous spymaster Robert Hanssen, who turned
over classified materials to the Russians. You can't help but root
for Eric as he tells his story of spying on the spymaster. I
recommend this gripping book to all audiences, especially computer
geeks and those interested in cybersecurity."--Kevin Mitnick,
New York Times bestselling author of Ghost in the
Wires and The Art of Invisiblity "An adrenaline-laced
memoir...as compulsively readable as any thriller. O'Neill has a
knack for ratcheting up tension so that foregone historical
conclusions, such as Hanssen's capture, feel like white-knuckle
cliffhangers...O'Neill's page-turner deglamorizes undercover work
while conveying the uncertainty, stress, and excitement that
accompany a successful investigation."--Publishers Weekly
"A taut and compelling real life thriller...part memoir,
part true crime, this fast-paced work is recommended for anyone
interested in cybersecurity, Cold War history, and espionage
tales."--Library Journal "O'Neill's narrative...is valuable in its
exploration of the psychology of the traitor and his motivations as
well as how spies like Hanssen so often enjoy success for as long
as they do until finally caught: 'Amateurs may hack machines, but
professionals hack people.' Fans of spy fiction and true crime will
find plenty to enjoy in O'Neill's account."--Kirkus
