Greg Keen is a notable English author, best known for his crime fiction novels. Originally from England, he has spent a significant portion of his career working in Soho, which served as the inspiration for his debut novel, "Soho Dead." The book, which won the CWA Debut Dagger in 2015, introduces the character of Kenny Gabriel, a down-on-his-luck skip tracer trying to turn his life around.
In addition to his work as an author, Keen also works as an independent media trainer and novel writing coach. He resides in north London and can be reached via email. Keen's first proper job was in Soho, and he has worked there ever since, making it the perfect setting for his novels. His Soho series, which includes "Soho Dead," "Soho Ghosts," and "Soho Angel," features gritty, fast-paced crime stories set in the bustling streets of London.
"Soho Dead" follows Kenny Gabriel as he is approached by his former employer, media magnate Frank Parr, to locate Parr's missing daughter, Harry. What seems like a simple job quickly turns complicated, as Kenny's past comes back to haunt him. With the stakes higher than ever, Kenny must navigate the dangerous underworld of Soho and confront his own demons if he wants to survive. Keen's writing is sharp and engaging, drawing readers into the seedy world of Soho and keeping them on the edge of their seats until the very end.
