James Patterson and Bill Clinton Team Up to Write a Novel
This sounds good!
As one of the country’s most prolific authors, James Patterson has maintained a constant presence on the best-seller list in part by relying on a stable of lesser known co-authors.
But for a new novel, Mr. Patterson is teaming up with a writer who is far more famous: former President Bill Clinton.
In June 2018, Alfred A. Knopf and Little, Brown and Company will jointly publish “The President Is Missing,” a novel written by Mr. Patterson and Mr. Clinton, which represents a rare foray into fiction for a former president.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, and a publicity release announcing the publication was skimpy on plot details, describing the novel as a “unique amalgam of intrigue, suspense and behind-the-scenes global drama” that will be “informed by insider details that only a president can know.”
