Penguin Group (NZ) is delighted to advise that
their wonderful run of award wins continues. Last
night following the Great New Zealand Crime Debate at the Christchurch
Writers Festival Neil Cross was announced as the 2012 Ngaio Marsh Award winner
with his novel Luther: The Calling.
A popular win amongst his fellow finalists Cross had
just returned him from the US
Judging convenor Craig Sisterson commented
“It was a tough decision for the international judging
panel, given the high quality of the finalists and the wider longlist, New
Zealand authors have produced some truly world class crime, mystery, and
thriller novels in the past year. Crime writing certainly seems to be
experiencing something of a renaissance here, as readers, publishers, critics,
and others begin to realise and appreciate the quality crime writers we have on
these shores.”
Penguin also congratulate their other two finalists,
Paul Cleave for Collecting Cooper and Vanda Symon for Bound.
