From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Caught, a standalone thriller by suspense writer Harlan Coben, is Amazon's best-selling Kindle e-book for the week ending March 27, according to a list released March 30 by Publishers Marketplace. In second and third are Stieg Larsson's hit thriller The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Nicholas Sparks's love story The Last Song, which has been adapted into a film starring Miley Cyrus.

American author Harlan Coben has written 16 previous suspense novels, including a nine-part best-selling series about sports agent and sometimes murder investigator Myron Bolitar and several standalone novels. Caught, which was published on March 23, "tells the story of a missing girl, the community stunned by her loss, the predator who may have taken her, and the reporter who suddenly realizes she can't trust her own instincts about this story-or the motives of the people around her."

New in the top ten is the 12th installment in Alexander McCall Smith's series The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency about Botswana detective Precious Ramotswe. The Double Comfort Safari Club was released as an e-book on March 4, giving North American readers early access to the title: Its hardcover edition is not due out there until April 20.
