New 'Halo' book debuts on hardcover fiction best-sellers list this week

Today is Sunday, so that means that it’s time for my weekly breakdown of this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Sellers Lists. According to those lists, there are two new books at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.

"Six Years" by Harlan Coben replaced "Alex Cross, Run" by James Patterson as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.

"The Lost Years" by Mary Higgins Clark replaced "The Innocent" by David Baldacci as the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.

"Lean In" by Sheryl Sandberg remained the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the second week in a row.

"Proof of Heaven" by Eben Alexander remained the No. 1 book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the 17th week in a row.

There were two books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on that list lat week. They (and their places on the list) included "Six Years" by Harlan Coben (1) and "Halo: Silentium" by Greg Bear (1).
