Written by a Unix admin at Lawrence Berkeley Labs that tracked down a hacker in
their system and how he did it... back in 1989.  Very good and well written....

The Cuckoo's Egg is a nice fast-paced read. There is a film/documentary by the
same name that was produced around that time which is also fun to watch.
