The Crime Writers’ Association announced the shortlists for the remaining three CWA 2013 Daggers. The winners will be announced October 24th, at the Specsavers Crime Thriller Awards 2013.
The shortlisted authors are:

Capital Punishment by Robert Wilson
John Creasey Dagger:

We'd also like to correct our omission of the winners of the previous six CWA Dagger Awards for 2013, announced earlier this year:
International Dagger: an unprecedented tie for Ghost Riders of Ordebec by Fred Vargas, translated by Siân Reynolds, and Alex by Pierre Lemaitre, translated by Frank Wynne
Non-Fiction Dagger: Midnight in Peking by Paul French
Library Dagger: Rubbernecker by Belinda Bauer
Short Story Dagger: “Come Away with Me” by Stella Duffy
Debut Dagger: Call Time by Finn Clarke
Ellis Peters Historical Dagger: The Scent of Death by Andrew Taylor
And don't forget to look at their Margery Allingham Short Story Competition for previously unpublished works, which is also open to writers outside the U.K., although you may have to keep their time zones in mind.
Congratulations to the nominees!
