Richard S. Post

Goodreads Author


Born
Chicago, The United States
Genre
Memoir, Thriller, Crime

Member Since
August 2013


I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Michigan State University and a PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I also interned for the Chicago Police Department. After graduating I worked as a clandestine services operations officer for the CIA and as a university professor before becoming an international business consultant. I was a resident of Hong Kong and other parts of Asia for many years with my wife. Together we investigated white-collar theft and wrote sixteen textbooks on security and intellectual property protection. But it was my childhood on the streets of Chicago, not advanced degrees that built the foundation for all I accomplished.

New book coming

My first Industrial Espionage book, Above the Bottom Line, is in final editing and should be available after the new year. The web site for it will be up soon along with some excerpts and pre-release reviews.

This is the first of a new series of books with stories about the cases handled by Wade Davis, ex-CIA clandestine services officer, now private investigator.
