In an email to members, the North American Branch of the International Association of Crime Writers announced the finalists for the 2020 Dashiell Hammett Prize for literary Excellence in Crime Writing. Since 1991, IACW/NA has presented the Hammett trophy to the book of the year that best represents the conception of literary excellence in crime writing. The 2020 reading committee, consisting of Christopher Chan, Marni Graff, Debbi Mack, and Chair J. Madison Davis, made a number of difficult choices, with the following books selected for the short list (the winner will be announced later this year):
- When These Mountains Burn by David Joy
- Three Hours in Paris by Cara Black
- Murder in Old Bombay by Nev March
- The Mountains Wild by Sarah Stewart Taylor
- Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbli Weiden
