Davis resident and best-selling author John Lescroart did it again. His seventeenth book, The Suspect, is on the the New York Times Best Seller List for the second week in a row at number 7. Published on January 16, by E.P. Dutton Publishing, the book immediately jumped on the list.

Congratulations John LesCroart. John lives in the El Macero neighborhood of Davis and writes out of his office on 'C' street downtown Davis. LesCroart actively speaks in local venues, most recently at UC Davis on January 31. Gillian and I had a chance to hear John speak a couple of years ago at the Sacramento Library Foundation's Authors on the The Move annual charity event (the 2007 event was held last night at the Hyatt, and featured David Eggers, Lisa See and Kim Stanley Robinson). He's an engaging speaker and a local treasure.
