Abstract	In the wake of criticism for not including more British writers in the 2005 nominations for the prestigious Gold Dagger Award for Best Crime Novel by the Crime Writers Association (CWA), the organization recruited a new sponsor, replaced the Gold Dagger with a richer prize, and restricted nominees to books written in English. As a consolation prize, the CWA created the Duncan Lawrie International Dagger, with award money going to both author and translator. In this article, the author discusses the powerful influx and influence of crime writing from non-English speaking countries. Of particular significance is the U.S. invasion of Scandinavian crime fiction, which Poisoned Pen bookstore owner and publisher Barbara Peters attributed to the influence of Swedish author Henning Mankell. Other countries coming on strong as sources of exciting new crime writing or as mystery settings include Russia, South Africa, Turkey, and Italy. (ERIC).
