Jeffrey Robinson is an American-born, internationally best‑selling author with over 30 non-fiction and fiction titles to his credit. He's widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost authorities on financial crime, money laundering, and organized crime. His 1995 investigative classic The Laundrymen is credited with bringing global attention to the scale and complexity of money laundering, establishing Robinson as “a recognized expert on organized crime, dirty money, fraud and money laundering,” with the British Bankers’ Association naming him “the world’s most important financial crime author.”He followed that foundational work with The Merger (1998), which explores organized crime’s consolidation into powerful transnational conglomerates, and The Sink (2003), which delves into offshore networks and dirty money in “paradise” jurisdictions. Robinson’s writings are not merely academic—they are a clarion call that the systems enabling global financial crime are deeply entrenched and often institutional.Before becoming chief of police for the Durham Regional Police Service, he served 24 years in the ranks of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. , including as Assistant Commissioner for Information and Identification, in the Ottawa region.

"Garry Clement is a national treasure. He’s spent his life in service to Canada, and I guarantee he knows more about international organized crime, drug trafficking, money laundering and the state actors – China, Iran, Mexico, and Russia – who today pose a major national security threat to Canada. This book should be required reading by every politician and bureaucrat in Ottawa and everyone else who cares about the future of this country."
