Mystery Bestsellers for July 27, 2007

A list of the top ten mystery hardcover bestsellers for the week ending July 27, 2007 has been posted on the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books website.

Four new mystery titles appear on the list this week. Debuting near the top: The Secret Servant, the 7th international thriller in the Gabriel Allon series by Daniel Silva. In Amsterdam, a terrorism analyst named Ephraim Rosner lies dead, brutally murdered by a Muslim immigrant. The Amsterdam police believe the killer is a deranged extremist, but others know better. Just twenty-four hours before, Rosner had requested an urgent meeting with Israeli intelligence. Now it is Gabriel Allon's job to find out what Rosner knew, and when he does, it confirms his worst fears: a major terrorist operation is in the works. But not even Allon could have predicted what it is. Publishers Weekly calls The Secret Servant "superlative" and adds, "[it] puts Silva squarely atop the spy thriller heap."

Other new mystery bestsellers this week: First Among Sequels by Jasper Fforde, the 5th mystery featuring literary sleuth Thursday Next; Justice Denied, the 18th mystery for Seattle investigator J. P. Beaumont by J. A. Jance; and Up Close and Dangerous by Linda Howard.
