William J. Flynn, nicknamed "The Bulldog Detective", had a fascinating and accomplished career in law enforcement.

As Director of the Bureau of Investigation, he devised the first counterterrorist strategy in United States history. He was a writer as well, contributing articles both to journals and to a true crime detective magazine which bore his name.
