A list of the top 15 mystery hardcover bestsellers for the week ending October 17, 2008 has been posted on the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books website.
For the third week in a row there is no change in the top 4 bestselling mysteries this week with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the first book in The Millennium Trilogy by the late Steig Larsson, in the top spot. [MBN note: Read our review of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.]
New this week and debuting in the 7th position is The Brass Verdict, the 14th mystery in the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly. Things are finally looking up for defense attorney Mickey Haller. After two years of wrong turns, Haller is back in the courtroom. When Hollywood lawyer Jerry Vincent is murdered, Haller inherits his biggest case yet: the defense of Walter Elliott, a prominent studio executive accused of murdering his wife and her lover. But as Haller prepares for the case that could launch him into the big time, he learns that Vincent's killer may be coming for him next. Enter Harry Bosch. Determined to find Vincent's killer, he is not opposed to using Haller as bait. But as danger mounts and the stakes rise, these two loners realize their only choice is to work together. Publishers Weekly states, "A beautifully executed crime thriller....Bosch might have met his match in the wily Haller, and readers will delight in their sparring."
