About this title

From the Publisher:

Concourse won the 1996 Shamus Award for Best Novel
S. J. Rozan's CONCOURSE, the author's second novel, won the 1996 Shamus Award for Best Novel (the Shamus is awarded by the Private Eye Writers of America). In doing so, Rozan became only the second female writer to win for best novel (Sue Grafton being the other one). She also beat out strong competition from much more seasoned competition (Dick Francis, for example). Personally, I think it is one of the finest crime novels I've ever read. But then I'm a bit prejudiced towards it...Keith Kahla/Editor
