Roger Hobbs attended Crimetime Visby — Sweden's premier crime fiction festival held on the medieval island of Gotland. A gathering of the world's best crime writers, Visby brought Roger to the heart of Scandinavian noir, where his work earned international recognition and new readers across Europe.

Roger Hobbs became the proud recipient of the Maltese Falcon — a hand-carved wooden statue awarded by the Maltese Falcon Society in Japan to the writer of the best hardboiled-style crime fiction. A fitting honor for the author of Ghostman, whose razor-sharp prose and criminal expertise earned him fans and accolades across the globe.
