I realize that P.I. fiction doesn’t overlap much with S&S, but I do know the readerships of the two genres do to some extent. With that in mind, I thought I’d pass along a link to this year’s winners (as well as nominees) of the Shamus Awards. These awards are given each year by the Private Eye Writers of America. The list can be found here. Scroll up to see winners and nominees from previous years.
And congratulations to all the nominees, especially the winners.
Gotta check and see if there’s anyone I know
Other than some of the short story writers, the only names I recognized were Max Allan Collins and Walter Mosley.
