Sarah Weinman posted on Twitter that George Pelecanos has won the 2008 Hammett Prize for his novel The Turnaround. The Hammett Prize, which was announced last night at an awards banquet during the NAIBA Fall Conference, is given annually by the North American Branch of the International Association of Crime Writers for literary excellence in the field of crime writing. (Awards are given out for books published during the previous year.)
Our congratulations to Mr. Pelecanos! Visit Mystery Book Awards for more information on over 30 other awards recognizing outstanding mystery fiction.
