H. R. F. Keating

H.R.F. Keating (full name Henry Reymond Fitzwalter Keating) (31 October 1926 – 27 March 2011) was the creator of Inspector Ghote of the Bombay Police, whose first appearance in The Perfect Murder (1964) won the author the Crime Writers Association Gold Dagger and an Edgar Allan Poe award from the Mystery Writers of America. He eventually wrote twenty-six Ghote novels. The Murder of the Maharajah brought H.R.F. Keating a second Gold Dagger in 1980.

Mr Keating, a past Chairman of the Society of Authors and of the Crime Writers Association, was crime reviewer for The Times from 1967 to 1983. Among the books about his art he had written or edited is Whodunit, a guide to crime, suspense and spy fiction.

He wrote three books under the pseudonym Evelyn Hervey.
