The organisers' more specific definition of what material would be eligible is:
To recap: the £3,500 prize is open to un-agented debut writers, over 18, born in and/or resident in the UK and Ireland. Entry form and rules at: Criminal Lines | AM Heath Literary Agents
Submissions should include the opening 5,000 words, and a synopsis of no more than 1,000 words. The manuscript does not have to be finished. The competition opens 3 August 2023 and closes 7 December 2023.
The earlier description (see first story, below) was 'all types of novel with “criminal intent”, from “psychological thrillers, cosy crime to serial killer thrillers”.'We are accepting crime, thriller, mystery and suspense fiction. If the entry fits into one or more of those categories, it is eligible.
