It was a cold winter’s night in 1991. After a long, difficult day in work I decided to have an early night. ‘Yep’, I said to my husband Brian at about 9 pm, ‘I’m going to bed with Clifford Stoll.’ Only being a few months’ married I was quick to clarify this by adding, ‘His Cuckoo’s Egg, that is.’ Hence the fascination began. I wanted to catch Markus Hess just as badly as Clifford Stoll did. I became Clifford Stoll’s doppelganger. I was with him every step of the way, checking those printouts and examining those logs. I was on call, waiting for that bleeper to go off. (This temporary aberration only lasted whilst reading the book)! The interesting thing is that I never once thought of Markus Hess as being ingenious let alone clever. I was more enthralled by the ingenuity of the pursuer rather than the dogged persistence of the pursued.
