The shortlist for this brand new prize for 'sparkling fiction' has now been announced and comprises:
Child 44 - Tom Rob Smith
Gifted - Nikita Lalwani
Sunday at the Cross Bones - John Walsh
Bestselling author Penny Vincenzi, chairing the judging panel, said:
" These three books are true page-turners, they are all intelligent and thought-provoking, and they cover a very broad range. And all three have that crucial quality for a successful book - word-of-mouth appeal."
The winner of the Desmond Elliot Prize 2008 will be announced on 26th June.
