'The Rembrandt Affair' moves in to No. 1 spot on best-seller list

Another week has come and gone in the world of books, and according to this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Seller List, a new book has climbed to the top of this week’s hardcover fiction list.

“The Rembrandt Affair” by Daniel Silva replaced “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” by Stieg Larsson as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction list.

“Women, Food and God” by Geneen Roth retained the top spot on the hardcover nonfiction list.

Larsson probably shouldn’t feel too bad about falling to No. 2 on the hardcover fiction list. After all, his book, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” retained the No. 1 spots on the best-seller lists for mass market paperbacks and trade paperbacks. His book, “The Girl Who Played with Fire,” is also ranked No. 3 on each of those lists.
