What Happens When Their Paths Cross?


From the New York Times fiction best sellers list, for the week ending Nov. 22.

10. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, by David Wroblewski, (Ecco, $25.95.) A mute takes refuge with three dogs in the Wisconsin woods after his father's death.

16. The Bodies Left Behind, by Jeffery Deaver. (Simon & Schuster, $26.95.) A sheriff's deputy is hunted in the Wisconsin woods by hit men after she finds the scene of their crime.


If this is a publishing trend, here's a possible story idea.

And then there's this painful episode of 4 years ago, which would seem to invite a book-length analysis.
