LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR A MYSTERY/THRILLER NOVEL 2001-2004

The Los Angeles Times awards several prizes to honor achievement on literature by recognizing writers who have demonstrated outstanding craftsmanship and vision. A writer need not be an American citizen and need not have written originally in English, but the winning book must have been published in English in the United States during the eligible year. Awards are made for works published in the preceding year. The prize for Mystery/Thriller was first awarded in 2001.
