Redirecting Keyword URLs to another website?

Hi,
So I was thinking today about URLs and websites, and the possibilty for someone to search for something specific - Google to pick it up, and then get redirected to another website.

My thinking behind this is the follow.

Let's say I own a company that sells books.

My website for this book company is: The Book Company | The Book Company (Not my website - just made up)

Now lets say for example someone in London was searching for a book store (or online book store), and they searched Google for something like "London book stores"

Let's imagine that I also own another website... This website is: www.LondonBookStores.com

This URL just simply redirect to my website (thebookcompany.com), could I somehow get Google to recognise these 'key words' (london book stores), and have Google show the link for www.londonbookstores.com in the results??

What's your thinking on this?

In theory, I could also have other cities - such as:

www.ManchesterBookStores.com (redirected to thebookcompany.com)
www.GlasgowBookStores.com (redirected to thebookcompany.com)
www.BirminghamBookStores.com (redirected to thebookcompany.com)

I know that I could go down the meta keyword route for this, but I just want to know your thoughts to see if it's actually possible to get get Google to do something like this?
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks

I'm afraid your thinking is flawed. A website has to have content for Google to index it in its own right.. So you can't SEO a domain that simply re-directs
