Call Me Edgar

The 2007 Edgar Awards nominees have been announced. J. Kingston Pierce has the whole story -- and the complete nominees list -- over at The Rap Sheet:

Appropriately, the Mystery Writers of America (MWA) chose today -- the 98th anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe’s birth -- to announce its nominees for the 2007 Edgar Allan Poe Awards. Poe essentially invented the detective story as we know it, and these prizes named in his honor celebrate what the MWA believes are “the best in mystery fiction, non-fiction, television and film published or produced in 2006.”

The 2007 Edgar Awards list is here.
