Last evening, the Capital Crime festival announced the winners of its annual Fingerprint Awards, which champion the very best in crime writing from the past year across the globe. The shortlists were selected by the festival’s board members from a longlist carefully curated by the Tastemakers Committee, a panel of leading independent bloggers and reviewers, who championed their standout titles across each category. Readers were then invited to vote for their preferred winners in each category. Congrats to this year's winners and finalists!
