Once again, several In Cold Blog contributors have made the initial list for inclusion in this year's Edgar Awards Fact Crime book list. The Edgars acknowledge outstanding work in the Mystery genre, however, they have also included true crime books since 1948. The Edgars will be awarded on April 30, 2009, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York.
Some of the biggest names in the genre have taken home the Edgar Allan Poe trophy including Truman Capote, Vincent Bugliosi, Darcy O'Brien, Jack Olsen, and former ICB contributor and two-time award winner Carlton Stowers.
In Cold Blog holds the distinction of having more contributors potentially up for the award this year than any other blog out there. This year's ICB contributors, past and present, that made the list are as follows:
Burl Barer - MOM SAID KILL
Dale Hudson - KISS AND KILL
Paul LaRosa & Erin Moriarty - DEATH OF A DREAM
Corey Mitchell [your humble ICB founder] - PURE MURDER
M. William Phelps - IF LOOKS COULD KILL and I'LL BE WATCHING YOU
Katherine Ramsland - INTO THE DEVIL'S DEN
All outstanding books from excellent authors whom you should all be familiar with from their work here at ICB. If you have not already done so, be sure to go out and buy each of these books and show your support. You will not be disappointed.

Corey Mitchell is a best-selling author of several true crime books, founder of In Cold Blog, a contributor at MetalSucks, and patiently waiting for the Pittsburgh Steelers to play tomorrow.
