"On February 18, 2001, the FBI finally arrested Hanssen and charged him with selling to the Russians - over a period of more than twenty years - top-secret, classified information. 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. In seeking to solve this almost impenetrable mystery, Schiller and Mailer spent hundreds of hours interviewing members of Hanssen's family as well as his closest friends, colleagues, and fellow church members. They traveled to Moscow to interview a key member of the KGB who had handled the spy they knew only as "Ramon Garcia."".
