It is the plight of a programmer hiding from Russians in the Ozarks. John Grisham has returned once again to No. 3 with Calico Joe, beginning with the end of a promising rookie career. Years later the pitcher and rookie are brought together by the pitcher’s son. Unnatural Acts by Stuart Woods tells the story of a lawyer and a billion dollar hedge fund manager. The top five ends with Guilty Wives by James Patterson. It is the tale of four friends vacationing in Monaco who winds up in jail. Of course it’s something to talk about.
