Jay Flynn

Jay Flynn has been described as a hard-drinking, rough-living, blarney-spouting Boston Irishman, ex-GI, newspaperman (ten years as a crime reporter on the Portland Express, Portland, Maine; stints on the San Jose Mercury and other California papers), bartender, editor, mystery writer, sex novelist, bootlegger, security guard, caretaker, and (so he claimed) prisoner in a hell-hole Mexican jail on a trumped-up charge and “writer-in-residence” at a Nevada whorehouse. His first published work and only published short story, “The Badger Game,” appeared in the November 1956 issue of the hard-boiled mystery magazine, Guilty. His first novel, The Deadly Combo, was published in 1958.
