Mystery Bestsellers for December 18, 2009

Mystery Bestsellers

A list of the top 15 for the week ending December 18, 2009 has been posted on the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books website.

A quiet week, with little change among the top 9 bestsellers. A new title enters the list this week, one that has lurked just below our cutoff for the past several weeks.

Hollywood Moon by Joseph Wambaugh

Joseph Wambaugh's third Nathan "Hollywood Nate" Weiss mystery, Hollywood Moon moves into 13th position this week.

There's a saying at Hollywood station that the full moon brings out the beast -- rather than the best -- in the precinct's citizens. One moonlit night, LAPD veteran Dana Vaughn and "Hollywood" Nate Weiss, a struggling-actor-turned cop, get a call about a young man who's been attacking women. Meanwhile, two surfer cops known as Flotsam and Jetsam keep bumping into an odd, suspicious duo -- a smooth-talking player in dreads and a crazy-eyed, tattooed biker. No one suspects that all three dubious characters might be involved in something bigger, more high-tech, and much more illegal. After a dizzying series of twists, turns, and chases, the cops will find they've stumbled upon a complex web of crime where even the criminals can't be sure who's conning whom.

The top four mystery bestsellers this week are shown below:

The Lost Symbol by Dan BrownU is for Undertow by Sue GraftonI, Alex Cross by James PattersonPirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton
