A list of the top 15 mystery hardcover bestsellers for the week ending March 21, 2008 has been posted on the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books website.
James Patterson's 7th Heaven remains in the top position this week, but a new title on the list debuts in the 4th spot.
Killer Heat is the 10th legal thriller to feature Manhattan District Attorney Alex Cooper by Linda Fairstein. Just as Alex is claiming an especially gratifying victory in a rape case, she gets the call: the body of a young woman has been found in an abandoned building. The brutality of the murder is disturbing enough, but when a second body, beaten and disposed of in exactly same manner, is found off the Belt Parkway, the city’s top brass want the killer found fast, before the tabloids can start churning out ghoulish serial killer headlines. Between dodging the bullets of the gang members who are infuriated by Alex’s most recent courtroom victory and keeping a rendezvous with a charming restaurateur, a serial killer on the loose is the last thing she needs on her plate right now. Then a third victim is found, and it becomes clear to Alex and her team that time is not on their side. Publishers Weekly calls Killer Heat "nail-biting" and Library Journal adds, "Fairstein delivers a scorcher of a crime novel."
