Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, 2010

The Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival is coming up at the Crown Hotel Harrogate from July 22-25th. I’m not going to be able to be there–maybe next year–but as of today the website is still advertising tickets and accommodation packages. In the mean time, here is the shortlist for the Theakston’s Old Peculier Prize, and a chance to vote:

In The Dark – Mark Billingham
The Surrogate – Tania Carver
A Simple Act Of Violence – RJ Ellory
The Crossing Places – Elly Griffiths
Dead Tomorrow – Peter James
Gallows Lane – Brian McGilloway
Doors Open – Ian Rankin
Child 44 – Tom Rob Smith

Vote for the Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year, 2010.
