Sure, they're announcing that Man Booker Prize today -- but the big money was handed out yesterday, as they announced the winner of the Premio Planeta, the richest single-book prize going, with the winner getting €601,000.
La marca del meridiano, a detective novel by Lorenzo Silva in his Bevilacqua-Chamorro series, took the honor. It was selected from 432 entries (the majority from Spain, but including 54 from South America and 37 from North America).
See, for example, the EFE report at Fox, Lorenzo Silva wins Spain's Planeta Prize, or Spanish reports in El País and La Vanguardia.
For more about Silva, see The English page at his official site -- as you can see, he's pretty prolific (but it doesn't look like any of his work has been translated into English yet)
