Val McDermid Awarded Diamond Dagger

Posted at 8:05AM Tuesday 12 Jan 2010

Val McDermid has been named as the recipient of this year's prestigious CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger Award, which honours outstanding achievement in the field of crime writing.

The announcement has been made by the Crime Writers' Association (CWA) in recognition of Val's work over more than 20 years.

The CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger is the latest accolade in a highly successful career which last year saw Val inducted into the Hall of Fame at the ITV3 Specsavers Crime Thriller Awards, whose partners include the CWA.
