Tracy Walder's memoir follows her from a CIA counterterrorism desk after 9/11 to FBI counterintelligence work, then out of the agencies and into a high school classroom. Reviewers respond to the rare female insider view of terrorist tracking and to her blunt account of how the CIA and FBI differ in culture and tempo. It is a fast, plainly written read rather than a deep policy book, so it suits memoir and spy-story readers more than analysts wanting operational detail. Among female intelligence memoirs it stands out for covering both agencies and for the post-government turn to teaching.

Reviewers generally enjoy the book as an accessible, candid memoir and praise its inside look at two agencies. Some find the writing plain and the later teaching chapters less gripping than the spy material.
