Richard David Bach was born in New York City and grew up on the south shore of Long Island. He acquired a Civil Engineering degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, where it was claimed that the mechanical and nuclear engineers designed weapons while his fellow civil engineers built targets.
ROTC at RPI led to a commission in the Air Force and two years on active duty overseeing design and construction of anti-missile radar sites in the Arctic, after which he accidentally migrated to Portland, Oregon where he studied law at the Northwestern School of Law at Lewis & Clark College.
With law school and the bar exam behind him, he joined Stoel Rives, LLP, one of Portland’s most prestigious law firms, where he founded and chaired the firm’s Environmental Law Practice Group — practicing environmental law until he retired to take up writing.
Richard David Bach lives and writes near Portland where he dotes upon his wife (always his first reader), four children, nine grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.

After two years in the Afghanistan desert, lawyer Raam Commoner receives a welcome home with a series of killings that his boss, Viktor Viken, wants him to solve. The murders occurred on Viktor’s prized cruise ships, but nobody has associated the events with a serial killer - not until Viktor receives a video from someone claiming all nine deaths as his work. Raam, teaming up with Private Investigator Kayman Karl, and profiler Giancarlo Cornelli, sets out to find who this serial killer could be. Will Raam be able to find out who the killer is before he strikes again? Aided by the clues that the killer himself provides, Raam will race against time to uncover the killer's identity. All that and more in Common Enemy by Richard David Bach.
Despite the fact that I worked out the killer's identity, I couldn't help Raam and tell him my suspicions. Anyway, he figured it out on his own, so all is good. I loved Common Enemy, its story, the characters, and just everything about it. Richard David Bach wrote a masterpiece with Common Enemy. There was an element of romance in the book that was just right, so as not to overpower the thriller and mystery part of the plot. I think this is only the first book of a series, and because I liked the first one I’m sure to read the next ones.
