About The Book

Named one of the most anticipated novels of the season by People, Associated Press, Time, Los Angeles Times, Parade, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Guardian, Publishers Weekly, and more.

 

From the #1 bestselling authors Hillary Clinton and Louise Penny comes a novel of unsurpassed thrills and incomparable insider expertise—State of Terror.

 

After a tumultuous period in American politics, a new administration has just been sworn in, and to everyone’s surprise the president chooses a political enemy for the vital position of secretary of state.

 

There is no love lost between the president of the United States and Ellen Adams, his new secretary of state. But it’s a canny move on the part of the president. With this appointment, he silences one of his harshest critics, since taking the job means Adams must step down as head of her multinational media conglomerate.

 

As the new president addresses Congress for the first time, with Secretary Adams in attendance, Anahita Dahir, a young foreign service officer (FSO) on the Pakistan desk at the State Department, receives a baffling text from an anonymous source.

 

Too late, she realizes the message was a hastily coded warning.

 

What begins as a series of apparent terrorist attacks is revealed to be the beginning of an international chess game involving the volatile and Byzantine politics of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran; the race to develop nuclear weapons in the region; the Russian mob; a burgeoning rogue terrorist organization; and an American government set back on its heels in the international arena.

 

As the horrifying scale of the threat becomes clear, Secretary Adams and her team realize it has been carefully planned to take advantage of four years of an American government out of touch with international affairs, out of practice with diplomacy, and out of power in the places where it counts the most.

 

To defeat such an intricate, carefully constructed conspiracy, it will take the skills of a unique team: a passionate young FSO; a dedicated journalist; and a smart, determined, but as yet untested new secretary of state.

 

State of Terror is a unique and utterly compelling international thriller cowritten by Hillary Rodham Clinton, the 67th secretary of state, and Louise Penny, a multiple award-winning #1 New York Times bestselling novelist.

Louise Penny’s latest mystery imagines a post-covid world. Things are still pretty complicated.

Carol Memmott - Aug 21

 

One of the buzziest books this fall is “State of Terror,” a political thriller co-written by Hillary Clinton and Canadian mystery writer Louise Penny. Until its October release, Penny’s fans can revel in “The Madness of Crowds,” No. 17 in the popular author’s beloved Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series. But be forewarned: “The Madness of Crowds” is not an escape hatch. The bucolic village of Three Pines, where most of Penny’s novels are set, has not been spared from covid-19…Penny’s latest offers little in the way of a soothing balm for nerves frayed by months of isolation and quarantine. Its chills don’t come from the icy winter temperatures in Quebec but from the dystopian story line and its uncomfortable reminder of some of the worst days of the pandemic.

 

Nursing homes were hit hard by covid-19, and their vulnerable populations died in record numbers. This held true in Canada, and one can assume Penny was so moved by these heartbreaking losses — she dedicates the novel to front-line workers — that she decided to weave the tragedy into “The Madness of Crowds.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/louise-penny-e2-80-99s-latest-mystery-imagines-a-post-covid-world-things-are-still-pretty-complicated/ar-AANGpBb
