Cordite Books to Announce $1000 Prize Winner Today || tinyurl/nkqwap2 #CrimeFiction Helon Habila, Editor: “Cordite. . . is a sort of smokeless gunpowder, with a rather distinct smell. We toyed with many names before settling on that. Cordite is a metaphor for crime. We love it, it is exactly the kind of imagery we were looking for. Ours is an interesting partnership: Richard is the creative partner; Azafi is the business woman; and I will be the talent scout if you like. Our aim is to discover and promote African crime stories. We believe there is the talent, and the readership, to make that work.”
