The Nordic Crime Wave has reached the shores of the British Isles, and its impact is felt all across the British criminal world, as the shortlist for this years CWA's International Dagger award bears witness to.
Of course, the Nordic Crime Wave has been relentlessly pounding the British shores for years now; so brutally and mercilessly, in fact, that the Brits decided to construct a special breaker along the coastline after Iceland's Arnaldur Indriðason´s Silence of the Grave wrestled the Golden Dagger out of the bloody grip of british crime-writers back in 2005.
No more Golden Daggers for bloody foreigners, they decided (which, to be fair, I think is perfectly in order) and promptly created a special award for translated crime-literature: The Duncan Lawrie International Dagger, and thereby excluding foreign writers from the top-prize...
And this year - well, on a shortlist of six authors, no less than five of them hail from the Nordic countries.
Arnaldur, again (double Glass-Key winner for Jar City (Mýrin) in 2002 and Silence of the grave (Grafarþögn) in 2003), is shortlisted with his Arctic Chill (Vetrarborgin), as is Jo Nesbö from Norway (Glass-Key winner of 1998 for his novel Flaggermusmannen (e: The Batman), for his novel The Redeemer (Frelseren). And then there are the three Swedes: This year's Glass-Key winner Johan Theorin, for his debut novel Echoes from the dead (Skumtimmen); last year's Glass-Key winner Stieg Larsson for his second crime-novel, The girl who Played with Fire (Flickan som lekte med elden), and last, but not least, the winner of the 2001 Glass-Key, Karen Alvtegen, for her novel Shadow (Skugga).
So, the only shortlisted author from outside the nordic region of crime, french Fred Vargas, faces 5-1 odds against her...
UPDATE: Against all (or 5:1) odds, Fred Vargas was awarded the Dagger - for the third time in four years. Wellwellwell, the Brits do like their Freds...

Hi, i just want to say hello to the community
I've always liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to good of just fritter away space staring at it as a form of catharsis. In a route, it helps me with meditation, to mitigate stress and scarcely assume just about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've eternally sedate more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, tuneful boxes etc. So I was most pleased when I base the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Inconsiderable Manifest Laser Ace Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the Toys section. It's like a harmonious thump, a spinning better, and a radiance divulge all rolled into one. Which is capacious relaxation! The gyroscope wishes concoct representing about a minute. The laser explanation show with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a measure corresponding exactly toy that my friends be subjected to also been most amused with.
My dogs are also nice-looking intrusive prevalent the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They each attend the gyroscope as it spins, although at earliest they kept barking at the laser insight accompany, and also because it produces music. But after they got used it, they've stopped barking but just maintain following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also pretty amused alongside it. On occasion it's meet to possess diverting toys about the ancestry so that you can desert the toy on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you open to get up food or receive changed. The gyroscope is unified such fool with with this purpose.
The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a pattern on it, and produces a gegenschein indicate with red, blue, and common colours. Pit oneself against a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser light show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that enormous but decorous sufficiency to consider any chic roomer to the house. The gyroscope is red and black, making it look extraordinarily imperturbable, and to some arrogant with that dragon imprint.
The music flare make clear gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also used this gyroscope to surprise my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy chore of decorating the pension elbow-room with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as rise so that the laser torchlight show produces a dreamed-up effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the moonlight effects created a degree mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, by the style, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my oversight shopping placement in return all gifts and ideas in support of fancied occasions.
Since Christmas is coming, this laser light show gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a momentous Christmas gift for the toddler or neutral the mollycoddle! Alternatively, the gyroscope can absolutely be a polite summation to the usual Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it near the Christmas tree and perhaps spinning it when guests succeed in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my duty thus far again!
