British detective writer HRF Keating, best known to fans of the genre as the creator of Inspector Ghote of the Mumbai CID, has died at the age of 84.<\/p>\n

The former Daily Telegraph journalist introduced the character in his 1964 novel The Perfect Murder, going on to feature him in more than 20 titles.<\/p>\n

He won two Gold Daggers from the Crime Writers’ Association, an organisation he chaired in the early 1970s.<\/p>\n

Keating also wrote several books under the pseudonym Evelyn Harvey.<\/p>\n

Another recurring character in his fiction was Detective Superintendent Harriet Martens, the protagonist of seven crime novels.<\/p>\n

Born Henry Reymond Fitzwalter Keating in 1926, the author – who died on Sunday – also penned several non-fiction titles.<\/p>\n

One of these, How to Write Crime Fiction, has remained constantly in print.<\/p>\n

He is survived by his wife, the actress Sheila Mitchell, and four children.<\/p>\n

Inspector Ghote featured in a 1988 film of The Perfect Murder, executive produced by James Ivory and Ismail Merchant.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
