Stuart Neville just announced his RATLINES has been nominated for Theakstons on his Facebook..
I think he wants that hand-engraved beer barrel prize! Here's the long-list: Who do you read on it?
I enjoy Neville and Griffiths...and always wonder why one of Lee Child's books are listed (guess he has dual citizenship).

2014 marks the tenth year of the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award. The award, run in partnership with T & R Theakston, WHSmith and Radio Times, was created to celebrate the very best in crime writing and is open to British and Irish authors whose novels were published in paperback over the previous twelve months.
Crime writing’s most coveted accolade, the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award returns to highlight the cream of the crop of crime novels. The winning author receives a cash prize of £3000 and a handmade, engraved beer barrel provided by Theakstons Old Peculier.
