About the Author

In 1959, J. J. (Jack) Luna sold his outdoor advertising business in the Upper Midwest and moved with his wife and small children to Spain's Canary Islands. Outwardly, he was a professional writer and photographer. Secretly, he worked underground in an activity that was at that time illegal under the regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco. Although many of his friends were jailed or deported, Luna was never apprehended.

In 1970 Franco moderated Spain's laws, leaving Luna free to come in from the cold. By that time, however, privacy and secrecy had become ingrained habits. In the years that followed he started up various low-profile one-person businesses, built them up, and then sold them. Since 1999 he's worked--among other things--as an international consultant specializing in personal privacy and security.

Reviews

"Fascinating... a regular field manual... meticulously researched and very entertaining." --G. Gordon Liddy "A subversive, disturbing, and altogether remarkable exposure of our frightening transparency to government agencies, investigators, the media, and more malign forces. This is a memorable work which should be considered by many." --Kirkus Reviews "J.J. Luna gives the smartest, sanest, and most practical advice on just how to stay out of sight in the real world. Buy this book if you value your privacy." --Ned Beaumont, author of Beat the Border and The Policeman Is Your Friend and Other Lies "Read this meticulously researched and highly entertaining book, learn its techniques...then vanish in plain sight!" --Lt. Patrick Picciarelli, NYPD (ret.), bestselling author of Jimmy the Wags
