Brad Parks has won the Nero Award for Faces of the Gone
(Minotaur), his debut mystery. Named for Nero Wolfe, the protagonist in
some 72 Rex Stout novels and novellas, the award recognizes the best
American mystery of the year and is given by the Wolfe Pack, a literary
society.
In October Parks also won the Shamus Award for Faces of the Gone,
making him the first person to win both awards for the same book in the
combined 60-year history of the awards. Parks's next book in the series
starring investigative reporter Carter Ross, Eyes of the Innocent, will be released in February.
