Heatseekers Fiction


The Heatseekers charts are compiled using titles by authors who have not appeared in The Official UK Top 50 since Nielsen BookScan records began. As such, they reveal books that are selling well, but not well enough to make the


overall list in a seven-day period. For more Heatseekers charts, visit thebookseller.com.
