The Falcon Has Landed
According to The Gumshoe Site’s Jiro Kimura, New York City novelist S. J. Rozan has picked up the Maltese Falcon Award for her 2002 novel, Winter and Night. Given out by the Maltese Falcon Society of Japan, this commendation honors what society members believe is “the best hard-boiled/private eye novel published in Japan in the previous year.” Past recipients include Cormac McCarthy, Michael Connelly, Sue Grafton, and Lawrence Block.

Hi Gordon - I wonder if you've come across my book? Cut Short is the first in a new series of British crime thrillers. Thanks to reviews and word of mouth it's been selling so well that my publisher had to reprint less than two months after the launch. More on my blog if you have time and interest. Thank you and yes, I'm a fan of the Rap Sheet (of course!)
Congrats to S.J. Rozan. "Winter and Night" is a darn good read. It's a book which I will never forget.
