M. W. Craven

Agent: David H Headley
Multi-award winning author M. W. Craven was born in Carlisle but grew up in Newcastle.

He joined the army at sixteen, leaving ten years later to complete a social work degree. Seventeen years after taking up a probation officer role in Cumbria, at the rank of assistant chief officer, he became a full-time author.

​The Puppet Show, the first book in his Cumbria-set Washington Poe series, was published by Little, Brown in 2018 and went on to win the Crime Writers’ Association Gold Dagger in 2019. Black Summer, the second in the series, was longlisted for the 2020 Gold Dagger. Most recently, the fourth in the series, Dead Ground, won the CWA Gold Dagger 2022.

In summer 2022, it was announced that Craven would be penning a new series starring Ben Koenig, beginning with Fearless (June 2023).
