ABOUT THE AUTHORBorn in Hungary, Robert Landori, whose full surname is Landori-Hoffmann, was for most of his professional life a senior public accountant, mergers and acquisitions specialist, and a trustee in bankruptcy in the Cayman Islands.
But behind the facade of the quiet man of numbers lay a life of intrigue and mystery. He traveled widely throughout South America and the Caribbean, where he came into contact with international fnanciers, notorious con men, well-known artists and entertainers, and members of several countries' intelligence communities.
Robert Landori also developed a highly charged and double-edged relationship with Castro's Cuba, and was, at one time, held in solitary confnement there for over two months on false accusations of espionage.
He is now a security consultant, lecturer on money laundering and terrorism, and writer of international intrigue and espionage thrillers.
He lives in Montreal, Canada.
