The North American Branch of the International Association of Crime Writers has announced its five nominees for the 2018 Hammett Prize. As always, this award recognizes “literary excellence in the field of crime-writing, as reflected in a book published in the English language in the U.S. and/or Canada.” Here are the contenders:
• The Lonely Witness, by William Boyle (Pegasus Crime)
• Under My Skin, by Lisa Unger (Park Row)
• Cut You Down, by Sam Wiebe (Random House Canada)
• November Road, by Lou Berney (Morrow)
• Paris in the Dark, by Robert Olen Butler (The Mysterious Press)
I don’t find information online as to when this year’s Hammett Prize will be presented. However, the 2018 commendation was handed out (to Stephen Mack Jones for his first novel, August Snow) during ThrillerFest in New York City, last July. We will wait to see whether that same arrangement is followed in 2019.
