Just below Honor Among Thieves at No. 11 is something you don't often see on the best-seller lists: a 25-year-old novel. A Case of Need was published when Michael Crichton-writing as Jeffrey Hudson-was 26, and it won an Edgar, the mystery-novel world's equivalent of an Oscar. Now Dutton, hoping to cash in on the success of Rising Sun and Jurassic Park, has republished A Case of Need, much to Crichton's chagrin. Fiction
