David Kruh is the published author of several books, notably the only two written exclusively about Boston's erstwhile entertainment district, Scollay Square; Always Something Doing, Boston's Infamous Scollay Square (Faber and Faber, 1990, updated version Northeastern University Press, 1999) and Scollay Square (Arcadia Publishing, 2004) which is filled with 180 images - including many never before published views in the Old Howard, Casino, and other places in the Square.

David is also the co-author, with his father Louis, of Presidential Landmarks (Hippocrene Press, 1992) and Building Route 128 (Arcadia Publishing, 2003) with Yanni Tsipis.  His writing has appeared in the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, History Magazine, Yankee Magazine, Boston Magazine and elsewhere. A published and produced playwright, his musical about the Boston Red Sox (The Curse of the Bambino) premiered at Boston's Lyric Stage in 2001 and still ranks among the most successful productions in this equity theater's history.
INSEPARABLE is David's first published novel. It is based on the 1962 escape of three men from Alcatraz in a homemade raft. It was published by DX Varos in June, 2022, the sixtieth anniversary of the escape.
