Established in 1984 and named after the nom de travail of Canada's official hangman, the Arthur Ellis Awards are awarded annually by the Crime Writers of Canada. Crime Writers of Canada is Canada's national professional association of published authors of crime, detective, espionage, mystery, suspense and thriller fiction - both novels and short stories, true crime and genre. The book must be published within the preceding year by a Canadian resident, regardless of nationality, or a Canadian writer living abroad. In 1993, a category for best juvenile mystery was included. The winner is announced in early June. The 2007 winner is Hamish X and the Cheese Pirates.
