MINNEAPOLIS — Like many good crime novels, the career of Twin Cities mystery writer David Housewright started with a bang.
After brief careers in journalism (including at the Minneapolis Tribune) and advertising (he started his own agency), his first book — well, second if you count the one he wrote when he was 10 years old — won an Edgar Award, the mystery writers' version of an Oscar.
He's gone on to win three Minnesota Book Awards, as well as being nominated for five more.
