The Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance is awarding its CrimeMaster Award for Distinguished Achievement to Lisa Gardner. The award will be presented by Tess Gerritsen on May 1 in Portland, at the beginning of the Maine Crime Wave conference.

MWPA wrote about Gardner, in part: "Storied crime author Lisa Gardner writes award-winning novels that are addictive. Thankfully for us, there are more than 30 of them, with some 22 million copies in print. That's more copies than the entire population of New England, where she and her family live. Around the globe, critics admire her and readers hail her psychological suspense, irresistible characters, vivid writing, and twisted plots."
