■2011年・エドガー賞発表!■
The Mystery Writers of America has announced the winners for the 2011 Edgar Awards as follows:
●長篇賞(Best Novel): The Lock Artist, by Steve Hamilton (Minotaur)
“The Lock Artist “は、マクナイト・シリーズ(『氷の闇を越えて』『ウルフ・ムーンの夜』『狩りの風よ吹け』)ではなく、単発の作品。少年時に言語障害を負い、10代後半に天才的金庫破りとなった若者の半生記です。マクナイト・シリーズが饒舌な主人公だったのに対し、今回はことばを封じられた主人公にほどよい抑制を感じます。小気味よく短文を重ねた、リズムのよい文章が秀逸。(越前敏弥)
●処女長篇賞(Best First Novel by an American Author): Rogue Island, by Bruce DeSilva (Forge)→ポケットミステリ(早川書房)7月刊行予定
●オリジナルペーパーバック賞(Best Paperback Original): Long Time Coming, by Robert Goddard (Bantam)→ 講談社文庫刊行予定
