TheCrime Fiction in Translation Dagger was sponsored this year by former CWA ChairMaxim Jakubowski in honour of his wife Dolores Jakubowski. This year the accolade goes to leading Spanish literary author Javier Cercas for Even the Darkest Night, which was translated by Anne McLean. Throughout the mission, Seventeen reflects on his life and how he got to be this big, bad assassin. It really helped to get a decent feel for this character, to know where he came from, to see how he came to travel this path few of us would ever consider. Autor John Brownlow hat unter anderem das Drehbuch für die Fernsehserie „Fleming“ über Ian Fleming und die Entstehung von James Bond geschrieben. Für sein Romandebüt „Seventeen“ bewegt er sich in ähnlichen Gefilden. Im Gegensatz zu 007 ist Seventeen auf der dunklen Seite der Branche. Was allerdings nicht heißt, dass die meisten seiner Aufträge nicht von irgendeiner Regierung kommen, die sich aber nicht exponieren will. Seventeen ist ein absoluter Profi, seine Aufträge erledigt er kühl und zuverlässig, hinterfragt sie auch nicht groß, versucht allerdings, Kollateralschäden zu vermeiden. Seine Tarnung ist größstmögliche Auffälligkeit. Er hat es an der Spitze geschafft, aber seine Nachfolger sind stets auf der Lauer, Unachtsamkeit wird in der Branche grausam bestraft. Keeps readers on the edge of their seats through a roller-coaster ride of high-octane action that builds to an explosive finale‘ Seventeen ist der Nachfolger von Sixteen. Um seinen Platz musste er nicht kämpfen, denn Sixteen verschwand einfach. Jetzt hat gibt es einen neuen Auftrag in Berlin. Danach soll Seventeen im Vorbeigehen nur noch eine Kleinigkeit erledigen. Und gerade diese vermeintlich einfache Sache geht irgendwie schief. Der gnadenlose Killer Seventeen kommt ins Grübeln. Ist das immer so richtig, was er tut, selbst wenn es für die gute Sache oder die gute Seite ist? Aber er darf nicht schwach werden. Wer schwach wird mal sich selbst eine Zielscheibe auf die Brust. Noch gibt es einen nächsten Auftrag: Sixteen.I loved the short, snappy chapters. As many of these chapters ended in cliffhangers, there was a constant feeling of suspense and excitement throughout and it was a struggle to tear myself away! Seventeen is composed of thirteen members born between 1995 and 1999. Their names are: S.Coups, Wonwoo, Mingyu, Vernon, Woozi, Jeonghan, Joshua, DK, Seungkwan, Hoshi, Jun, The8, Dino.

The CWA was first founded in 1953 by John Creasey and is one of the UK's most prominent societies. The awards started in 1955 with the first one going to Poldark author Winston Graham. The CWA Daggers are synonymous with quality crime writing and this is the 70th year of the awards being held. The Chair of the CWA, and LoveReading Summer Guest Editor, Vaseem Khan said about the anniversary "This year's CWA Daggers, in the CWA’s 70th jubilee year, continued the tradition of recognising both the broad appeal of the genre, and the wide spectrum of writers now operating within it, showcasing the full creative range of modern crime writing." If you like action thrillers which don't worry too much about characterisation, you'd probably enjoy this. I rated it 3.5 stars (rounded down) as although the second half was much better than the first, it wasn't quite the pacy, punchy read I was expecting. Since the 2023 Crime Writers' Association (CWA) Dagger Shortlist was revealed in May we've been eager to learn who will be the winners of this year's awards. We had National Crime Reading Month to enjoy while we waited throughout June and now the time has come and the winners of the oldest awards in the genre were announced on the 6th July at a Gala Dinner at the Leonardo City Hotel in London. But the sniper isn't the hardened killer he was expecting. It's Mireille - a mysterious, silent child, abandoned in the woods with instructions to pull the trigger.Of course, a spy thriller demands action and Seventeen certainly doesn't disappoint. There's a brief but pivotal scene in Berlin's Tiergarten which is surely a playful homage to classic Cold War espionage fiction. However, he makes mistakes in Berlin and his shortcomings raise alarm bells with his boss, known only as Handler. What follows is a personal confrontation as he hunts down Sixteen, knowing that more than one person is waiting for a moment of weakness that will allow them to become Eighteen. Without giving anything away. I enjoyed the introduction of other characters and the wry interplay between them. Action thriller fans who want an intense thrill-ride will be more than satisfied but the witty dialogue and emotional scenes mean this isn't mindlessly frantic and instead the storyline is intriguingly suspenseful. Meanwhile, the personal toll of a job that requires a person to become a shadow is examined too and there's a vulnerability to 'Jones' which provides a refreshing counterpoint to his undoubted proficiency and masterful survival skills.

Ich tue das Einzige, was mir einfällt. Als ich an der Küche vorbeikomme, schnappe ich mir die Kaffeekanne und werfe damit nach der Frau. Praktisch im selben Moment schleudert sie mir das Telefon entgegen. […]While Agent 17 was a healthy clone and a perfectly capable assassin, Ort-Meyer found out, upon upbringing and training him, that he did not possess any enhanced strength or endurance over that of an average human. The short chapters were perfect for keeping the pace and the action going. I would find myself reading in bed and doing the whole ‘just one more chapter’ thing about 6 times before I realise how much I am going to hate myself in the morning from staying up too late.
