WaterstonesMK (the larger of the two Milton Keynes Waterstones stores) will host bestselling author Robert Goddard next Friday (March 15) from 6pm.
At the end of February, the Crime Writers’ Association announced that Robert Goddard will receive the 2019 CWA Diamond Dagger, the highest honour in British crime writing.
The Dagger award recognises authors whose crime writing careers have been marked by sustained excellence, and who have made a significant contribution to the genre.
Martin Edwards, Chair of the CWA said: “Robert Goddard has been entertaining crime fiction fans across the world for over thirty years. His books are notable for their breathtaking plot twists, sharp characterisation, and insights into history. It is a genuine pleasure to celebrate his illustrious career with the award of the Diamond Dagger.”
Previous winners of the Diamond Dagger include P.D. James, John Le Carre, Dick Francis, Lee Child, and Ann Cleeves.
Robert Goddard has been writing bestselling thrillers since his first, PAST CARING, was published in 1986.
His last book, PANIC ROOM, was his twenty-seventh book and had some of the best reviews of his career.
His brand new novel, ONE FALSE MOVE, is classic Goddard, a twisting mystery that quickly becomes a heart-stopping thriller.
