Crime novelist Patricia Cornwell lands on the most wanted (book) list for the sixth time with From Potter's Field, debuting at No. 1. This time out, the gang-chief medical examiner Kay Scarpetta; her lovable, chauvinist sidekick, Capt. Pete Marino; and psycho-killer Temple Gault-have taken their act to New York City. Sales of the book are killer too: There are 665,000 copies in print after two pressruns.
