The dagger and £2000 prize money are awarded for the best adventure/thriller novel in the vein of James Bond.
Tom Rob Smith - Child 44 (published by Simon & Schuster)
âThis powerful debut evokes the double unthink disorientation and paranoia of the Stalinist era, while never losing sight of the more intimate story. Location and period take it a notch above the usual serial killer narrative".
Uniquely for this award, the judges have Highly Commended David Stone for The Echelon Vendetta (Penguin).
