David Levien is an American crime novelist and screenwriter best known for his Frank Behr series. The four novels, published between 2008 and 2015, follow private investigator Frank Behr through cases in Indianapolis. Levien is also known in Hollywood as the co-writer of the poker film Rounders (1998), which he created with his longtime collaborator Brian Koppelman.
His fiction draws on the same instinct for tension and pacing that marks his screenwork. The Frank Behr books are lean, fast reads with a protagonist who is tough but not invincible, and Indianapolis provides a less familiar backdrop than the New York or Los Angeles settings that dominate the genre.
