UK Crime Writers Association Dagger Winners

Colin Cotterill has won the Dagger in the Library; Tragic's favourite crime writer Fred Vargas alongside translator Sîan Reynolds have triumphed in the International Dagger for the third time in four years; Sean Chercover has won the Short Story Dagger and Catherine O’Keefe the Debut Dagger. Yes, they get real daggers but authors are very responsible citizens and only kill people by proxy in their novels.

The shortlists and winners for the Gold, John Creasey (New Blood) and Ian Fleming Steel Daggers will be published in the autumn, with the winners being announced on Wednesday, 21st October, 2009.
