It's a hat trick of thrillers on top of the Apple Books store's bestseller list, with Michael Connelly's latest, The Night Fire, knocking John Grisham's The Guardians down to the #2 slot and The Deserter, by father and son team Nelson and Alex DeMille, hitting #3. In fact, one could argue the whole top five is a thriller-fest, with The Last Wife at #4 and Ronan Farrow's true crime–style work of investigative reporting, Catch and Kill, at #5—plus John le Carré's Agent Running in the Field keeping the trend going at #6.
