One week after THE CHOPIN MANUSCRIPT picked up the world's top audiobook prize, ITW member and CHOPIN co-writer David Hewson has won the UK award for the best unabridged crime novel, with his title THE SEVENTH SACRAMENT. The prize, based on reader votes, was awarded at the CrimeFest convention in Bristol, UK, last weekend. The Audible Sounds of Crime is a new award sponsored by the downloadable audio company. Competition for the prize included ITW's Tess Gerritsen and Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman.
David shares the prize with the series narrator, Saul Reichlin (www.saulreichlin.biz),
the acclaimed South African born actor who has become the voice of the
Nic Costa series. He said, "It's fantastic to win this award - and even
better to share it with someone as talented as Saul, whose reading has
breathed life into my characters for so many listeners."
