Paperback of Perry's 'Half Moon Street' Joins Bestseller Lists

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The paperback of LDS writer Anne Perry's 20th mystery novel has joined the bestseller lists, hitting both the New York Times list and USA Today's list. Card's new book, "Shadow of the Hegemon" also continues to rise on bestseller lists, joining four new lists this week.

Perry's novel, set, like the others in her Thomas Pitt series, in Victorian England, was on the bestseller lists in hardcover when it was released last summer. Perry is best known in the LDS market for her fantasy novel, "Tathea," published in 1999 by Shadow Mountain.

The current titles on bestseller lists are:
