Die British Crime Writers’ Association hat den diesjährigen CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger für das kriminelle Lebenswerk an Lindsey Davis vergeben. Die Autorin der Marcus-Didius-Falco-Kriminalromane dürfte vor allem bei den Fans historischer Kriminalromane bekannt sein.
Davis sagte zum Preis: “When I heard about this I had just been awarded the Premio Colosseo, from the City of Rome, ‘for enhancing the image of Rome in the world’ so I was already reeling. The Diamond Dagger is the ultimate accolade for a crime author, because it is given by fellow writers and is not just for one book but your work as a whole over the years. I am absolutely delighted and honored to receive the Cartier award.”
