Overview

• Released June 2 by Little, Brown and Company, the novel marks the third collaboration between former President Bill Clinton and bestselling author James Patterson.
• The plot centers on President Madeline Wright’s husband, former NFL star Cole Wright, who stands trial for the long-unsolved murder of a Patriots cheerleader.
• The accusation risks derailing Wright’s bid for re-election and imperils her proposed ‘Grand Bargain’ economic reform package.
• Investigative journalists Brea Cooke and Garrett Wilson drive the story as they reopen the cold case of Suzanne Bonanno, uncovering hidden motives and political sabotage.
• Clinton incorporates personal White House anecdotes—such as a Secret Service-gifted box of M&M’s from his 100th presidential run—to humanize life in power.
