Donald Bayne Hobart (1898-1970) was a prolific writer for pulp magazines and comic books, focusing on westerns and mysteries. This influence can be clearly seen in his full-length books.

Surrounded by strange characters and secrets from the past, his only hope is that Captain Blake can solve the mystery. The Cell Murder Mystery (1931)-Wealthy Fosdick Martin is stabbed, and there are plenty of suspects, but the Chief of Police John Kenny has bigger worries when a murder occurs in his own jail cells. To complicate matters, the underground crime boss known as The Lizard has his own plans . . .
