Davis, Allison A.: - ALLISON A. DAVIS is the author of poetry, short stories, and the Kay Schiffner historical mystery series. Following successful stints in ad agency work, journalism, and art criticism, Allison developed expertise in antitrust and national security law as a partner with Davis Wright Tremaine, a national AMLAW 100 law firm, trying cases in both state and federal courts. Allison's passions for history, music, and law infuse her fiction with vivid detail, as does her affection for San Francisco, where she lives.
