Cocaine exposé shortlisted for book award

The High Society by Justine Delaney Wilson, which failed to name those whom it alleged were taking drugs, is one of four nominated in the non-fiction section of the awards. Among her competitors for the title is Irish Examiner columnist Diarmaid Ferriter for his book Judging Dev. The same work is nominated in both the published book of the year and Tubridy Show Listeners’ Choice award categories.

In all there are nine categories in the awards open to all Irish authors who had a book published during the last 12 months.
