The CWA Dagger Awards is one of the most prestigious annual events for authors and publishers in the crime literature calendar and we couldn’t be prouder of C.J. for being shortlisted, especially after The Chalk Man won at the Dead Good Awards.
The Steel Dagger Award is sponsored by Ian Fleming Publications Ltd and is one of ten awards that will be bestowed at the ceremony, which takes place on the 25th October 2018. We’ll be championing The Chalk Man as a deserved winner!
