Tony Hillerman is back with his 16th novel featuring Native American cops Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. The Sinister Pig debuts in the #4 spot on this week's January bestseller list. All of the vehemence of Michael Moore, but with less of the humor (or, at least, a different kind of humor) and a lot more elegance. In Dreaming War Gore Vidal pulls no punches in an eloquent -- and sometimes grueling -- look at American politics and foreign policies. Reviewers are hailing Holy Fools as Joanne Harris' best book yet. Quite a claim, considering this is the author of the internationally beloved Chocolat. Holy Fools debuts at #11 on this week's January bestseller list. Just in case you haven't noticed in all the Harry Potter brouhaha, Eoin Colfer has been quietly racking up an international following with his Artemis Fowl series. It's hard to believe that book one, Artemis Fowl was released in 2001. Book two in the series, Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident was even more successful than its predecessor and had our reviewer rolling in the aisles, as it were. Just one year later: book three and the fans are ready. Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code jumps on to the January list in the #13 position. The fascination for all things to do with the Black Dahlia -- a horrific murder in Los Angeles in the 1940s -- is ceaseless. Novels have been written, movies filmed and -- more recently -- tell-all novels telling all. Black Dahlia Avenger, written by the son of the man who claims to have killed the Black Dahlia killer, sometimes seems like a response to Daddy Was the Black Dahlia Killer, published in the mid-1990s and written -- you guessed it -- by the killer's daughter. No: it's not the 1937 propaganda film we're talking about here. This Reefer Madness is Eric Schlosser's (Fast Food Nation) latest exposé, this time through the lens of pot, porn and illegal immigrants: a burgeoning black market that Schlosser claims makes up at least 10 per cent of the American economy. Apparently Schlosser has been working on this book for a while: earlier thoughts on the marijuana portion of the program were published in the August 1994 issue of Atlantic Monthly under the same title. John Sandford's 14th book in his Prey series, Naked Prey, debuts on the January list at #16.
