Biography
Unlike many of the mainstream espionage/crime and thriller authors, Mel Savoie did not seek out and interview military veterans, investigators or intelligence officers experienced in foreign countries. For that sort of insider information Savoie looked no further than his own mirror.

A twenty-year Air Force veteran, Savoie served in the United States, North Africa and Korea. As an officer in the USAF Office of Special Investigations, he was a Special Agent conducting criminal, counterintelligence, and security investigations at home and abroad. In his capacity as a Special Agent, Savoie wrote and edited literally hundreds of investigative reports and biographical sketches as well as contributed his expertise to numerous USAF publications.

His experience extended well beyond military service. Following his retirement from the Air Force, he was appointed as Chief of Security for the DC Public Library System and advanced to Security Chief for the Federal Reserve in DC.

Holding a B.A. with honors from the University of Maryland, he was married and the father of two sons.

Mel Savoie fought a lengthy bout with illness and completed four novels prior to his passing in 2005.
