Portrait of a Spy

Portrait of a Spy with a single question.
    I wish to extend the deepest gratitude and love to my children, Nicholas and Lily. Not only did they assist with research and the final preparation of my manuscript, but they gave me unconditional love and support as I was struggling to meet my deadline. Finally, I must thank my wife, the brilliant NBC News journalist Jamie Gangel. In addition to managing my business, running our household, and raising two remarkable children, she also found time to skillfully edit each of my drafts. Were it not for her patience, attention to detail, and forbearance, Portrait of a Spy would not have been completed. My debt to her is immeasurable, as is my love.
