Scott Tisch writes crime thrillers about people who live in the spaces between legal and illegal, loyalty and betrayal.

Before turning to fiction, Scott spent three years researching synthetic identity fraud, one of the fastest-growing financial crimes in America. That work took him through FBI case files, federal court documents, and interviews with investigators, prosecutors, and a few people who'd prefer to remain anonymous. The goal was simple: get it right.

But the real education started earlier. Growing up between South Florida and New York, Scott was surrounded by people who operated in gray areas—people who taught him that the line between right and wrong isn't always where you'd expect to find it. Two decades in a career built on understanding how people present themselves to the world only sharpened that perspective.

When he's not writing, Scott can be found experimenting in the kitchen, exploring new places, or sweating through a VR workout. He's currently at work expanding the Tyler Family Network.

Synthetic Identity is his debut novel.
