David L. Lindsey (b. 1944) is an American novelist, working primarily in the mystery and crime fiction genres. He has published fourteen novels in a writing career spanning 29 years.
During the 1970s, Lindsey worked as a book editor at a number of small publishing houses in Austin. At one point he operated his own publishing firm, Heidelberg Publishers. [2]
During his years in publishing, Lindsey had an interest in writing, but felt it would be fiscally "irresponsible". [3] Finally, in 1980 his wife urged him to "go for it".[2] Lindsey decided to write mystery fiction because of its general marketability.[2][3] His first two novels appeared in 1983: Black Gold, Red Death and A Cold Mind. The latter work introduced Houston homicide detective Stuart Haydon, a cultured, independently wealthy protagonist who appeared in four subsequent novels.
By 1994 Lindsey had over two million books in print.[2] By 2004, his novels had been translated into 20 languages.[3] His 1990 novel Mercy was adapted into a movie - also called Mercy - in 2000.
