The SoCal Seal of Approval

Although there were six nominees last year, there are only three books vying for the 2009 T. Jefferson Parker Mystery Award, given out by the Southern California Independent Booksellers Association (SCIBA). “This award,” according to the association, “recognizes excellence in books that reflect Southern California culture or lifestyle, with authors/illustrators living within the SCIBA region.”

And the nominees are ...

Trust No One, by Gregg Hurwitz (St. Martin’s Press)
The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death, by Charlie Huston (Ballantine Books)
The Grift, by Debra Ginsberg (Shaye Areheart Books)

A winner will be chosen by SCIBA booksellers and is expected to be announced during an Author’s Feast on October 24.
