Cyril Raymond Howard Shaw (born 1934) is a British teacher and writer, specialising in crime fiction. He is a former head of history at Harrow School.[1]
In 1968, Shaw produced The Levellers in the Seminar Studies in History series. He has subsequently written a number of well-received[2] works of mystery fiction, published initially under the pseudonym "Colin Howard", drawing on his knowledge of the English public school and the Oxford University college. Death of a Don (1982) was a Mystery Guild selection, and was later re-published in the U.K. in the Black Dagger Crime series. Of the book, Christopher Wordsworth commented "Cambridge may incubate the best traitors but Oxford can pride itself on fiction's best corpses".[3]
