About the author
As an award-winning investigative journalist, editor and political columnist, Alan Eysen wrote for 30 years about real-world financial and political corruption. At Newsday, he served on the investigative team that won the 1970 Pulitzer Prize exposing misconduct by Long Island public officials. Later, he became a political consultant and experienced the other side of the story. Today, Eysen resides in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, where he continues to write and be inspired by the colorful characters and harrowing situations he experienced firsthand as a reporter. He can be found crafting his strong fictional characters with the help of an equally strong dry gin martini.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2017A title like “SECRETS: Spies, Lies & Criminal Ties” promises a lot, and the book delivers.
Beginning with the death of an Army captain near Fort Knox in the 1950s, author Alan Eysen skillfully lays out his story of petty crime and international intrigue with a reporter’s eye for events and an artist’s instinct for character and resonance. He is especially astute in portraying the dynamics of the military along the entire chain of command—from enlisted to general officers and everyone in between. Along the way are agents of the FBI, Russian spies and Mafia guys. It looks at these characters and their motives from perspectives of politics, profit, sex and religion. As a thriller of crime and intrigue, “SECRETS” is satisfying on every level.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2017great work and insight.Tells a riviting story and kept my interest.Very good writing
- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2017Drawing on both his Army non-com experience in the 1950's and his years of investigative reporting in the Long Island garden of crime, author Alan Eysen has crafted a deliciously complicated espionage thrill designed to satisfy the most discriminating devotee of that peculiar genre. Populating his novel with brilliantly conceived characters drawn from the Old South, the Cosa Nostra, the tough Jewish neighborhoods of Queens and the ranks of top-level Russian and American nuclear physicists, the author deftly interweaves quotidian crime with high issues of national security during the early days of the Cold War. Not satisfied with creating just a cracking good story, Eysen -- in LeCarre fashion -- dips into grey areas of international espionage.
