About the author

For 26 years, Steve Schach was a professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. At the end of 2009, Steve moved to Sydney, Australia. Before he began writing thrillers, Steve wrote 13 best-selling software engineering textbooks, which are used in universities all over the world. Down Under, Steve intended to become a full-time grandfather, and limit his intellectual activities to solving cryptic crossword puzzles and avidly watching Sesame Street with his grandchildren. However, the urge to write proved to be far too strong to overcome, hence his historical spy thriller, Old Bach Is Come which was published in March 2013. While the book was in production, Steve completed two more historical spy thrillers, both set in World War II.
