From the best-selling author of American Tragedy and Perfect Murder, Perfect Town comes an even more stunning portrayal of America's dark side. Into the Mirror is the shocking story of FBI Special Agent Robert P. Hanssen, the master spy who single-handedly created the greatest breach of security in the history of our country.On February 18, 2001, the FBI finally arrested Hanssen and charged him with selling, over a period of more than 20 years, top-secret, classified information to the Russians. Nothing that has been reported to date about this ordinary-looking but tormented man has revealed the astonishing facts that Lawrence Schiller and Norman Mailer, collaborators on the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Executioner's Song and Oswald's Tale, uncovered during their nine-month investigation into the life of this complex man.
Into the Mirror gets inside the mind of a devious and dangerously brilliant man and creates an unforgettable portrait of someone so caught up in the struggle with his own personal demons that he would betray everything he holds sacred - his wife, his family, his religion, and his country.
