The debut novelist Belinda Bauer has taken one of crime writing's most prestigious awards, carrying off the 2010 Crime Writers' Association Golden Dagger with Blacklands.
Speaking at last Friday's prize ceremony in London, Bauer said it was a "thrill" to be shortlisted for the £2,500 award alongside George Pelecanos, SJ Bolton and Karen Campbell.
"Blacklands is a small, simple book and I'm still stunned and delighted that it seems to have struck a chord with so many people," she said.
