To Track a Traitor Named as a Finalist for the 2024 Crime Writers of Canada Award

TouchWood Editions is excited to announce that To Track a Traitor by Iona Whishaw has been nominated for The Whodunit Award for Best Traditional Mystery at the 2024 Crime Writers of Canada Awards of Excellence in Canadian Crime Writing. The winners will be announced on Wednesday, May 29th, 2024.

To Track a Traitor is the tenth book in the bestselling Lane Winslow Mystery series which features a war-weary young ex-intelligence officer, Lane Winslow, as she sets off on a transatlantic adventure that involves sibling rivalry, infidelity, and espionage. A starred review in Publishers Weekly calls the book, “Highly entertaining . . . Winslow’s fans and newcomers alike will find lots to love.” And, the Globe and Mail mentions that, “this is Whishaw’s 10th novel and, so far, it’s avoided the dreaded period when series books get stale . . . Whishaw goes all out on the historical bits and it’s all great fun following post-Second World War Britain.”

Iona Whishaw is currently on tour in Ontario celebrating the release of the eleventh book in the series, Lightning Strikes the Silence, which is on-sale May 7. This latest novel opens with Lane investigating an explosion where she discovers a secluded cabin and, hiding nearby, a young Japanese girl injured and mute, but very much alive.
