Shamus Award Nominees Announced
The Private Eye Writers of America (PWA) is proud to
announce its nominees for the 2003 Shamus Awards. Books and
short stories first published in 2002 were eligible for
consideration. In each work the main character must be a
person paid for investigative work but not employed by a
unit of government. Thus books and stories about private
investigators (licensed and unlicensed), lawyers and
reporters who do their own legwork, and other hired agents
are eligible; works centering on law enforcement officers or
amateur sleuths are not.
PWA was founded in 1981 by Robert J. Randisi. Past
Presidents have included Bill Pronzini, Sue Grafton, Sara
Paretsky, and Lawrence Block; currently the organization is
headed by Max Allan Collins. Overall Awards Chair is SJ
Rozan.
The Shamus Awards will be presented in October at the PWA
banquet to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, during Bouchercon, the World
Mystery Convention.
