One of the best received crime novels of 2009, The Finger's Twist by Lee Lamothe has been shortlisted for the 2010 Arthur Ellis Award for best crime novel.
Turnstone is delighted Lee's "gold plated winner" is in the running for Canada's top crime writing honour.
More than a whodunit, The Finger's Twist is the story of the romantic relationship between Charlie Tate and his wheelchair bound wife Elodie Gray. Set against the backdrop of a bombing attempt at the Ontario legislature and the paranoia fueled by the police and the mayor, Charlie and Elodie try to keep their black sheep client out of prison.
Lee Lamothe is a journalist and novelist. He is a recognized expert on organized crime and the author of the bestsellers Bloodlines: The Rise and Fall of the Mafia's Royal Family, The Sixth Family: The Collapse of the New York Mafia and the Rise of Vito Rizzuto and The Last Thief, a novel. He lives in Toronto.
The winners of the 2010 Arthur Ellis Awards will be announced Thursday, May 27th. Everyone here at Turnstone will have their fingers crossed, er... twisted.
