Biography

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.

The Research:

Three Years in the Shadows

Every fraud technique in Synthetic Identity is based on documented reality. The human drama is fiction. The crime methodology is fact.

Scott spent three years studying how synthetic identity fraud actually works, from the creation of fictitious identities to the sophisticated methods used to age credit profiles and extract millions from financial institutions. His primary sources included FBI case files on major fraud rings, federal court documents from real prosecutions, published research from the Federal Reserve on synthetic identity losses, and interviews with people on both sides of the issue.

Synthetic identity fraud costs U.S. lenders an estimated $6 billion annually, making it one of the fastest-growing financial crimes in America. It was this collision of technical sophistication, human drama, and staggering scale that convinced Scott the subject deserved a thriller, not just a headline.

His standard for the book: authentic, not instructional. A fraud investigator should read it and nod. A wannabe criminal shouldn't be able to replicate it step by step.
