    Keith Miles (born 1940) is a Welsh writer of historical fiction and mystery novels. He has also written children’s books, radio and television dramas and stage plays. He is best known under the pseudonym Edward Marston, and has also written as Martin Inigo and Conrad Allen.

    Beginning in the mid-1980s, Miles turned to writing mystery fiction. His first series, written under his own name, featured Alan Saxon, a professional golfer-turned-amateur detective. After four books, Miles’s publisher did not wish to continue the series, which only resumed after a hiatus of more than a decade. He has written two mysteries set in the United States which feature a Welsh architect, Merlin Richards.

    The Action Scene series included five books, from Skydive to Frontier; as Miles, he also wrote Not for Glory, Not for Gold, a novel about athletics.

    The City Hospital series included ten books, starting with New Blood (1995) and ending with Heart Rate (1996). In 2019, Amazon in the U.S. was giving away the individual e-books of this series at no charge to Kindle Unlimited members.
