Though not as prolific as some of his contemporaries, Flynn made a significant contribution with his work 'The Barrel Mystery' which was published in 1919. His literary style often reflects a deep understanding of the criminal underworld, mirroring his real-world experience. The book itself is an intriguing combination of true crime elements and detective fiction, underscoring Flynn's expertise in the field of law enforcement. Prior to becoming an author, William J. Flynn had a notable career in law enforcement, serving as the Chief of the United States Secret Service from 1912 until 1917. His experiences during his tenure, wherein he was known for his pursuit of anarchists and other radicals, undoubtedly informed his narrative style and subject matter.
