A list of the top 15 mystery hardcover bestsellers for the week ending January 16, 2009 has been posted on the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books website.
For the first time in many weeks a new book has not only cracked the top 4 but landed in the top spot: the third between-the-numbers mystery featuring New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum, Plum Spooky by Janet Evanovich.
New this week at number 14 is Thomas Perry's sixth Jane Whitefield mystery, Runner. After a nine-year absence, the fiercely resourceful Native American guide JaneWhitefield is back. For more than a decade, Jane pursued her unusual profession: "I'm a guide ... I show people how to go from places where somebody is trying to kill them to other places where nobody is." Then she promised her husband she would never work again, and settled in to live a happy, quiet life as Jane McKinnon, the wife of a surgeon in Amherst, New York. But when a bomb goes off in the middle of a hospital fundraiser, Jane finds herself face to face with the cause of the explosion: a young pregnant girl who has been tracked across the country by a team of hired hunters. That night, regardless of what she wants or the vow she's made to her husband, Jane must come back to transform one more victim into a runner. And her quest for safety sets in motion a mission that will be a rescue operation -- or a chance for revenge. Publishers Weekly says, "Blending the frenetic pacing of a top-notch thriller with Native American mysticism, this entry will more than satisfy longtime fans."
