Congratulations to Lilja Sigurdardottir, who has been longlisted in The Crime Writers Association International Dagger Award for Snare (Orenda Books), translated by Quentin Bates. It is the tender, topical and breathtakingly dark first book in the Reykjavik Noir series.
“A tense thriller with a highly unusual plot and interesting characters.”

The shortlists will be announced in July, and the winners will be announced at the Dagger Awards dinner in London on 25 October.
