Robert Eringer: As a journalist, novelist, private spy, undercover operative and director of an intelligence service, Robert Eringer has enjoyed a wide-ranging career. Commencing June 16th, 2002 until December 31st, 2007, Eringer was spymaster to Prince Albert II of Monaco. After Prince Rainier’s death in April 2005, and Albert’s ascension to the throne, Eringer created the principality’s first (unofficial) intelligence agency, the Monaco Intelligence Service. It was killed by persons who feared what it uncovered. In 2016, Eringer returned to fiction with the publication of Motional Blur (Skyhorse), acclaimed by T.C. Boyle as “A nonpareil road novel that winds up packing a real emotional punch,” and Last Flight Out (Bartleby Press), a fantastical novel about traveling in time through photographs.
