Crime Writers’ Association honours led by lifetime achievement prize for Catherine Aird

An investigation into the crimes of Jimmy Savile, a Cromwellian murder mystery and the adventures of a pair of superannuated detectives have all been honoured at the prestigious Crime Writers’ Association Dagger awards.

The CWA unveiled the winners of its 2015 Dagger awards at a ceremony in London on Tuesday night, and announced the shortlists for a further three awards to be presented in September – for which Stephen King, Sam Hawken, and JK Rowling’s alter ego Robert Galbraith are in contention.
