International Dagger - Shortlist Speculation
The shortlist for the CWA International Dagger will be announced at CrimeFest on Friday. I've listed the eligible titles by author, rather than by month published, below. Which six books do you think will make the shortlist? And/or which six books would you have put on your shortlist?

That's a hard question as there are so many good titles out this year! I did manage to narrow it down to seven, but as you are only allowing six I'll have to drop The Summer of Dead Toys (Hill) and go for:
Karin Fossum – The Caller (Norway)
Jorn Lier Horst – Dregs (Norway)
Arnaldur Indridason – Outrage (Iceland)
Asa Larsson – Until Thy Wrath Be Past (Sweden)
Deon Meyer – Trackers (South Africa)
Johan Theorin – The Quarry (Sweden)
Thanks Karen. My guesstimate is at

No Liza Marklunds on the eligible lists?
Looks like I will have a lot of reading if I want to read the six shortlisted books.
I haven't read so many books this year but from my limited reading this would be my shortlist:
Andrea Camilleri-The Potter's Field [Italy]
Deon Meyer-Trackers [South Africa}
Arnadur Indridason- Outrage [Iceland]
Friis & Kaaberbol- The Boy in the Suitcase [Denmark]
Ernesto Mallo-Sweet Money [Argentina]
Leif G.W.Persson- Another Time, Another Life [Sweden]
For my ones I want to be on the shortlist I have the exact same shortlist as Maxine but promise there was no collusion ;)
