Dagger in the Library
The Dagger in the Library (Golden Handcuffs in 1994–1996) is an annual award given by the British Crime Writers' Association to a particular "living author who has given the most pleasure to readers".[1] Yearly shortlists are drawn up of the ten authors most nominated, online, by readers, and the final decision is made by a panel of librarians. It was sponsored by Random House until 2015.
