…the #1 spot. You can set your bestseller clock each spring for a new Mary Higgins Clark winner. The bestselling mystery author regularly lands a book on the top of the charts in the late April/early May time span. Her latest, On the Street Where You Live, is the third in a row to take the #1 position after just a week in the stores. Simon & Schuster's first printing was one million copies. The author also heads up the mass market list with Before I Say Good-Bye. Pocket launched that book in April with a two-million first printing; it enjoyed a 14-week run on the hardcover charts.
