We're delighted to announce that NOT DEAD ENOUGH by Peter James has earned him a place on the shortlist for Author of the Year at ITV3's inaugural Crime Thriller Awards. The other authors on the four man shortlist are Ian Rankin, Robert Harris and Lee Child.

Waterstone's, W H Smith, Borders and Tesco have all committed to promoting the initiative which is being hailed by the organisers as the most successful campaign in terms of promoting crime and thriller writing that there has ever been.

The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on 3rd October, which will be broadcast on ITV3 on the 6th.
