'Murder Me Tomorrow' won the prestigious Independent Press Awards 2021 for best crime novel. His first novel 'One Oblique One' was shortlisted for the Crime Writers Association Award for the best debut crime novel of the year. Keith's novels are a period piece of no-nonsense detective work and the activities and culture of a pre-digital age - the 1980s. They are an incredible snapshot of a period before the internet and political correctness. How times have changed. 'Fair Means of Foul' achieved 'Distinguished Favorite' in the New York City Big Book Awards 2020. Keith joined the police in 1979 and quickly became a Detective on CID, then being promoted to Detective Sergeant and dealing with all major crimes such as Homicide, Armed Robbery and Rape, and everything else in between.
