Barnard, Chief Inspector. Chief Inspector Barnard was created by T.C.H. Jacobs (John Bellamy, Dixon Hawke) and appeared in fourteen novels from 1932 to 1955, beginning with Scorpion’s Trail.

Chief Inspector Barnard of Scotland Yard is a “heavily built man with close-cropped, iron-gray hair” and “cold, steely eyes.” He is a cold, hard man and a good, somewhat above-average policeman, neither dull nor brilliant, but intelligent and thorough within his capabilities. He is confronted with a variety of sensational criminals, from international criminal masterminds who go by pseudonyms like “The Scorpion” to Kali-worshiping Thugs to a variety of German and Soviet spies.
