The Spymaster of Monte Carlo - by Robert Eringer (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

" The Spymaster of Monte Carlo" is a riveting firsthand account of how one American intelligence operative was invited to create and run a secret service for Prince Albert II of Monaco. Blending memoir, political exposé, and real-life spy thriller, Robert Eringer unveils the true, behind-the-scenes story of corruption, espionage, and court intrigue inside one of the world's richest and most glamorous microstates. Over five years, Eringer built a global network of operatives and intelligence partnerships to root out money laundering, organized crime, and deceit festering in the shadows of Monaco's high society and government. But what began as a noble mission quickly spiraled into a battle of ethics versus entitlement, as palace insiders and Freemasons conspired to preserve their privilege and power-- at any cost. Told with sharp wit, brutal honesty, and the practiced eye of a veteran spymaster, this book pulls back the curtain on royalty, revealing not a fairy tale-- but a cautionary tale.
