"The Cukoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage" [1] by Clifford Stoll. The author's first-person account on tracking down a computer hacker as a sysadmin.

Fond memories; thanks again for writing that book! 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo%27s_Egg_(book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo%27s_Egg_(book)
