2004 Patricia Cornwell novel, 'Trace,' reappears on best-sellers list

It’s Sunday, so that means that it’s time for my weekly breakdown of this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Seller List. According to the list, there is new book at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.

"The Fallen Angel" by Daniel Silva replaced “Shadow of Night” by Deborah E. Harkness as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.

“Wild by Cheryl Strayed remained the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the second week in a row.

“The Litigators” by John Grisham remained the No. 1 book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the fourth week in a row.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” by E.L. James retained its place atop the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the sixteenth week in a row.

There are four books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They (along with their place on the list) include "The Fallen Angel" by Daniel Silva (1), "Creole Belle" by James Lee Burke (6), "The Sandcastle Girls" by Chris Bohjalian (9) and "Close Your Eyes" by Iris Johansen (11).

There are six books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "A Year Up" by Gerald Chertavian (2), "The Mobile Wave" by Michael Saylor (5), "Eat More of What You Love" by Marlene Koch (6), "How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything...in Business (and in Life)" by Dov Seidman (7), "The Communist" by Paul Kengor (11) and "Out of the Blue" by Victor Cruz (12).

There are two books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "Lethal" by Sandra Brown (3) and "Trace" by Patricia Cornwell (15).

There are two books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "On the Island" by Tracey Garvis Graves (14) and "Maine" by J. Courtney Sullivan (15).
