How The Light Gets In by Louise Penny in the Scorpion Press edition of 50 signed and numbered copies.<\/p><\/div>\n

The final short list of six mystery novels for the 2014 Edgars has been announced.\u00a0 The winner will receive the Edgar for best novel on 1st May at a banquet at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, New York City.<\/p>\n

What a surprise that the six has not one but two Scorpion Press titles by non-American writers.\u00a0 Canadian Louise Penny makes the short list with How The Light Gets In<\/em>.\u00a0 This was published by us in September 2013 and quickly sold out.\u00a0 The other shortlisted Scorpion title is Ian Rankin’s Standing on Another Man’s Grave<\/em>, issued by us as far back as 2012.\u00a0 This was the return of Rebus novel after a gap of five years. Both books have an excellent chance of receiving the honour.<\/p>\n

Who is your favourite Louise Penny or Ian Rankin? \u00a0 Ian received the Edgar honour for best novel in 2004 for Resurrection Man<\/em>. \u00a0 So may it be Louise\u2019s turn.\u00a0 Certainly, our readers liked it ever so much.<\/p>\n
