Since immigrating from Transylvania to Israel as a child, Robert C. Castel has worked as a cook and bookbinder, completed years of military service in Lebanon and other operational areas, been a commander of mountain rescue and diving teams, the police captain of the city of Tirat Karmel during the Gaza evacuation, and even dealt with missing soldiers and wild animal-related crimes.
