The Quill Awards are the only book awards to pair a populist sensibility with Hollywood-style glitz. They are the first literary prizes to reflect the tastes of all the groups that matter most in publishing--- readers, booksellers and librarians. One of the categories recognized is mystery/suspense/thriller. (Note: In early 2008, the partners behind the Quill Awards suspended support for the program.)
