Who is Lynn A. Davis?

Lynn Arthur Davis was an attorney in Little Rock, Arkansas, who lectured and penned nonfiction crime thrillers based on his past experiences in law enforcement. He was a former agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, short-term director of the Arkansas State Police, and U.S. marshal for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. The conservative columnist Christopher Ruddy once described Davis as "Arkansas’ version of Eliot Ness," a reference to the Prohibition agent who fought organized crime in Chicago during the 1930s and was portrayed in an ABC television series The Untouchables by the late Robert Stack.

After his graduation from Arkansas High School in his native Texarkana in Miller County in southwestern Arkansas, Davis attended Henderson State University in Arkadelphia in south Arkansas. Three children were born to the marriage of Lynn and Elsie Sue Davis: Anthony George "Tony" Davis, Kristy Davis, and Clayton Taylor Davis. In 1975, when he was forty-two, Davis obtained his law degree from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law School. He practiced law for nearly three decades until his retirement in 2008. Davis served as a second lieutenant and then a major in the Arkansas Army National Guard.
