The Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) division of the American Library Association (ALA) has named its top reads in eight categories ... ITW members CJ Box (BLUE HEAVEN) garnered the nod for best thriller, and David Hewson's THE GARDEN OF EVIL has won for best mystery.
Hewson, International Vice President for ITW, had this to say about his win: "Any award made by librarians - some of the most important people around in the book business - is bound to fill me with gratitude and flattery, not least because, if it weren't for libraries, I wouldn't be doing what I do. I'm immensely grateful to everyone at Bantam Dell for having the faith to publish eight novels of mine in a row without blinking, and to the many members of ITW who've generously helped up my profile enormously in the US over the years. You all have my heartfelt thanks."
