A list of the top 15 Mystery Hardcover Bestsellers for the week ending May 24th, 2013 has been posted by the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books.
As expected, Dan Brown's new Robert Langdon thriller Inferno took over the top spot this week, and by a decidedly large margin.
One new title debuts (below; position in backets).

[12]: The Redeemer
Jo Nesbø
— Harry Hole (6th)
Christmas shoppers stop to hear a Salvation Army concert on a crowded Oslo street. A gunshot cuts through the music and the bitter cold: one of the singers falls dead, shot in the head at point-blank range. Harry Hole — the Oslo Police Department's best investigator and worst civil servant — has little to work with: no suspect, no weapon, and no motive. But Harry's troubles will multiply. As the search closes in, the killer becomes increasingly desperate, and Harry's chase takes him to the most forbidden corners of the former Yugoslavia.
Yet it's when he returns to Oslo that he encounters true darkness: among the homeless junkies and Salvationists, eagerly awaiting a savior to deliver them from misery — whether he brings new life or immediate death.
