Crime Writers’ Association honours led by lifetime achievement prize for Catherine Aird
An investigation into the crimes of Jimmy Savile, a Cromwellian murder mystery and the adventures of a pair of superannuated detectives have all been honoured at the prestigious Crime Writers’ Association Dagger awards.
The CWA unveiled the winners of its 2015 Dagger awards at a ceremony in London on Tuesday night, and announced the shortlists for a further three awards to be presented in September – for which Stephen King, Sam Hawken, and JK Rowling’s alter ego Robert Galbraith are in contention.
Six awards were presented at the event – which marked the close of Crime Reading Month - and which was attended by veteran crime writer Catherine Aird, who collected the Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement.
Huddersfield-born Aird, who turned 85 in June, is the author of 20 novels and was honoured for her “incredible career in the genre”.
