London (January 1, 2012) - Rick Robinson’s political thriller “Writ of Mandamus” has been named the grand prize winner of the London Book Festival, which honors the best of international publishing.
Robinson’s fourth novel, which will be published later this year by Headline Books Inc., weaves from Washington, DC to the countryside of Ireland, following Congressman Richard Thompson and the CIA as they chase Middle Eastern conflict and Kentucky horses. Its page-turning prose and intriguing plot makes it an instant classic in Robinson’s series and promises to be optioned for other media.
Winners and honorable mentions in the competition will be honored at a dinner held January 26, 2012 in London.
Headline Books also swept the Non-Fiction Winner's Category with Many Genre's One Craft: Lessons in Writing Popular Fiction edited by Heidi Ruby Miller and Michael A. Arnzen.

By Andrew V. McNeill
Deputy Jesse Pace returned home to be close to family, win back the affection of his high school sweetheart, and do some good in his community. Little does Jesse know, Breckenridge County has become an epicenter in the “War on Drugs.” Methamphetamine is strangling the small town of Argyles Landing and powerful forces are aligned to build a domestic drug cartel with the intent of extending its reach throughout the United States.
Breckenridge County is a well-researched, fast moving portrayal of the dangerous impacts and gritty elements of the meth epidemic taken from today’s headlines. It brings to light the malignancies simmering below the surface of almost every American community, large and small.
Jesse Pace is on the front lines, battling each day to keep children and decent folks safe from this scourge. Given the stealth nature and combined muscle of the forces united against him—the question may be—Will one man fighting this fight be enough?
