On Tour with Dead Writers

The Ohio Penitentiary opened in 1834 and was demolished in 1998 on a site that is now known as The Arena District in Columbus, Ohio. Before this dead writer gained notoriety as a writer of detective novels, he served time here from 1929-1936 for armed robbery. While in prison he began to write fiction. He also witnessed a horrible fire in 1930 that killed 322 inmates, one of the worst fires in American prison history.

Who is this author of seventeen novels and sixty short stories?

The winner will be randomly chosen from those who respond to mysteryminutecontest@gmail.com with the correct answer by 12:00 p.m., ET, May 18. The prize? A book by one of our Rogue authors! This month it will be Red Flags by Lisa Black.

Good luck!
