Pleasant Addiction

No wonder my former Toronto Star colleague Linwood Barclay is semi-addicted to googling bestseller lists. His novel Fear the Worst is topping the Globe and Mail’s bestseller list, while his Never Look Away is #8. The Bandido Massacre‘s holding its own, with three weeks on the Globe and Mail’s bestseller list for Canadian non-fiction. It has also made the Canadian Booksellers Association top 10 and tops Amazon.ca for a category called “Murder and Mayhem,” and #2 on a list called “True Accounts,” after a couple weeks at #1. It’s not listed in the “Organized Crime” category, which probably makes sense, since the Canadian Bandidos weren’t particularly organized and didn’t make much, if anything, from crime.
