The Seven Million Dollar Spy

How One Determined Investigator, Seven Million Dollars - and a Death Threat by the Russian Mafia - Led to the Capture of the Most Dangerous Mole Ever Unmasked Inside U.S. Intelligence

De: David Wise

Narrado por: Kevin Pariseau

The Seven Million Dollar Spy reveals, for the first time, the inside story of the dramatic US counterintelligence operation that resulted in the capture of the most dangerous mole working for Russia inside US intelligence. Now, the former senior KGB spy, to whom the US paid seven million dollars for Moscow's file on the mole, is identified by both his real and code names.

The audiobook also reveals how a death threat by the Russian Mafia against the former senior KGB spy over a spoiled caviar deal worth millions was the key to unmasking the mole inside US intelligence.

The Seven Million Dollar Spy tells the story, and final success, of the determined FBI counterspy who spent six years pursuing the mole and approaching 27 potential KGB sources - despite pressure to stop from his superiors who said he was wasting both time and money with nothing to show for it.

Until the 28th spy.

The Rest of the Story Revealed

I thought it was well documented and the timeline, plus relationships of all the parties involved, was crafted perfectly. I enjoyed listening to this book and understanding the rest of the story about this guy.

A good update on the Hanssen case.

This story was an enjoyable review of the years ending the cold War and the aftermath of the Soviet Union. As someone with a back row seat to the events surrounding these events, the newer information reported on in this story provides the listener with details often kept out of the public offerings by officials and court filings.

Engrossing Read

Terrific read! Fascinating & a “page turner!” Very well told and info revealed first time publicly

Riveting Story

Mr. Wise delves deep into the Robert Hannsen story. It is well researched and will keep you engaged along the way. It is a must for people who enjoy espionage stories.

Great Book

The book was very interesting and well delivered. David Wise’s book is thoroughly researched!
Must read

Pretty pretty good but not the best

With espionage novels, I found the billion dollar spy to be more profound. Totally different story and different premise, but this novel was very well written and the performance was great.

Great inside information on espionage

The true story on 2 of the most damaging spies in US history and how they were finally caught

Interesting

Adds to the books on gray suit. Grateful fbi finally apologized to Mrs Kelly. Amazed at the fortitude of Bonnie Hansen after learning her husband was a traitor and a pervert.

Perfectly paced and informative

5 of 5 stars.

Sometimes fact can be as interesting as fiction. David Wise has an uncanny ability to tell a tale which doesn't drag or indulge in useless filler while remaining engaging throughout. The Seven Million Dollar Spy is no exception.

The narrator is perfect for the text.

Couldn’t Stop Listening

This is a whirlwind ride of high stakes espionage you don’t want to end. Fills in the most important gap of knowledge surrounding how the traitor, Richard Hanssen, was found.
