Now for the 2008 Los Angeles Times Book Prize winners.
Yes, I am aware that the 2008 Los Angeles Times Book Prize has winners in categories other than mystery/thriller. But I am only going to mention the mystery/thriller category.
And, for a full disclosure: I was a judge for this category along with my lovely colleagues Sarah Weinman and Dick Adler. We three made our decision in early Februrary so that should show you how well we can keep a secret!
2008 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for mystery/thriller goes to:
Michael Koryta, right, Envy the Night (Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s Minotaur)
