Hillary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny Team Up for a Thriller
Hillary Clinton, former US presidential nominee, Secretary of State, First Lady and US Senator will be releasing a political thriller in the UK this October with her friend Louise Penny – and it’s set to be a bestseller!
The high-stakes thriller delivers details only an insider could know. It follows a novice Secretary of State who has joined the administration of her rival. A series of terrorist attacks throws the global order into disarray, and the Secretary is tasked with assembling a team to unravel the deadly conspiracy, a scheme carefully designed to take advantage of an American government dangerously out of touch.
Hillary Rodham Clinton says,
Writing a thriller with Louise is a dream come true. I’ve relished every one of her books and their characters, as well as her friendship. Now we’re joining our experiences to explore the complex world of high stakes diplomacy and treachery. All is not as it first appears.
Louise Penny agrees. “When it was suggested my friend Hillary and I write a political thriller together, I could not say yes fast enough. What an incredible experience, to get inside the State Department. Inside the White House. Inside the mind of the Secretary of State as high stake crises explode. Before we started, we talked about her time as Secretary of State. What was her worst nightmare? State of Terror is the answer.’
Jeremy Trevathan, Pan Macmillan publisher, comments, “State of Terror is as exciting a proposal for a global thriller as I have ever read. The scope, ingenuity and ambition reflects the strength of the creative chemistry that exists between Hillary Clinton and Louise Penny. It’s a unique pairing of global real life experience at the highest level and brilliantly honed narrative craft. The characters, their nuanced backstories and the tense, all-too-believable plot leap off the page. This is emphatically a story for our times and we are confident it will establish itself as a bestseller for years to come, read both by thriller fans and by Hillary Clinton’s and Louise Penny’s legions of admirers around the world.”
You’ll have to wait just a little longer, though. State of Terror will be published by Pan Macmillan in the UK in October 2021.
