Before embarking on his literary career, Williams served as a foreign correspondent for the Daily Mail during World War I, an experience that enriched his writing with a strong sense of realism and international intrigue. Best known for 'The Red Mass,' Williams showcased his capacity to intertwine espionage with legal drama in a narrative that captivates and educates simultaneously.
