Havana Harvest

Based in part on a true story, Havana Harvest follows the maneuvers of two adversarial intelligence services in their attempts to inflict maximum damage on each other as they move through a maze of high-tension suspense.

In Cuba, General Patricio Casas must decide whether to support the revolution he has defended for so many years or do what is good for his people and challenge the selfish authoritarianism of the Castroite regime.

Meanwhile, CIA operative Robert Lonsdale is tasked with determining why a captain in Fidel's army--who recently arrived in Miami with a suitcase full of money--seeks U.S. protection from a Colombian drug cartel and the Cuban secret police. Lonsdale is quickly drawn into a maelstrom of intrigue and murder from which there seems to be no escape--unless he can convince General Casas to help.

Apparently double-crossed by his colleagues and a self-serving Agency director, Lonsdale struggles on alone in an attempt to outfox the shadowy tormentors who intend to silence him forever.

Born 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 financiers, 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 confinement 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.
