The Petrona Award 2017 - Trophy

Only a few weeks ago, at CrimeFest, Gunnar Staalesen was announced as the winner of the 2017 Petrona Award for WHERE ROSES NEVER DIE, translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett and published by Orenda Books.

The Trophy itself was subsequently shipped to Mr Staalesen's home in Norway and I'm pleased to announce that it has just arrived. Here are a couple of photos of the author with his prize, plus its resting place in a central position in his living room. As well as the Trophy, Mr Staalesen also won a complimentary pass from the organisers of CrimeFest for next year's event, which he will be taking up.

  1. After I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked the
    -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from
    now on each time a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with
    the same comment. There has to be an easy method you are able to remove me from that service?
    Thanks a lot!
