We're not sure when the announcement was officially made, but the International Association of Crime Writers, North American Branch, has posted the nominees for the 2009 Hammett Prize on their website. The prize is awarded annually for literary excellence in the field of crime writing for works published in 2008.
The nominees are:
Leading Lady by Heywood Gould
The Finder by Colin Harrison
City of the Sun by David Levien
The Turnaround by George Pelecanos
South by South Bronx by Abraham Rodriguez
The winner will be chosen by three distinguished outside judges, and will be announced at the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association Fall Conference in early October, 2009.
Previous winners of the Hammett Prize can be found on our website, Mystery Book Awards: The Hammett Prize.
