Penguin is committed to publishing works of quality and integrity. In that spirit, we are proud to offer this book to our readers; however, the story, the experiences, and the words are the author’s alone.
Some of the events and anecdotes in the work are factual, such as 9/11 and the Robert Hanssen case, but are derived from open sources and not from FBI investigations or analysis. The stories, cases, and examples used throughout thereafter are based on the career of the author but are fictional, including names and locations. The methodologies of behavioral analysis and the recruitment of human sources are the tools and techniques of the author, and not endorsed, taught, and/or acknowledged by the FBI.
