Dunedin author Lynley Hood's A City Possessed was today named winner of the history section in this year's Montana New Zealand Book Awards.

The 600-page book gives an account of the controversial Christchurch Civic Creche case which led to the jailing of creche worker Peter Ellis in 1993 on child abuse charges.
