Thursday, April 23, 7 p.m.
Book evening with Swedish author Karin Alvtegen
(from the website)
For the first time in more than 35 years, a Swedish writer has been
nominated for the prestigious "Edgar" award for Best Novel of the Year. The
"Edgars," named after Edgar Allan Poe, are given annually by the Mystery
Writers of America, and represent, essentially, the Oscars of the mystery
world. Nearly 600 books were submitted for consideration this year, but only
6 made the final cut. Of these, Missing, by Karin Alvtegen - already the
winner of Scandinavia's Glasnyckeln or "Glass Key" award, for Best Crime
Novel of the Year - is the first Swedish novel to earn a nomination since
1971, when Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo were nominated and won for The
Laughing Policeman, the fourth in their famous series featuring "Martin
Beck."
I plan to be there, and hope some of you might attend too.

publisher who was with Karin -- but it's too late. The signing was last
night. And a great one it was too! Her American publisher, btw, is Felony &
Mayhem Press in NY. This is Maggie Topkis who also is a co-owner of Partners
and Crime Bookstore in NYC.
Felony & Mayhem specializes in getting out of print books back on the
shelves, as well as publishing UK and Euro. authors in the US. Their
authors include the likes of Robert Barnard, Margery Allingham, Barry
Maitland, Peter Lovesey, Reg Hill, Caroline Graham and others of our
favorites here on RAM. Wow, look at their author list

The Felony and Mayhem gang have wonderful taste. So many of my favorites
are being reprinted by them, and I've found a few new favorites among their
authors, too. One of my local bookstores carries many of their titles and
I'm making a point of looking for them as I've come to trust their judgment.
