Hillary Clinton is resourceful.
It takes, when one was twice an unsuccessful candidate for the American presidential election - the first time in the 2007 Democratic primary against Barack Obama and a second in his duel with Donald Trump in 2016. According to information from the American magazine
Forbes
, the former First Lady and former Secretary of State will co-author her first novel,
State of Terror
, an international political thriller.

The novel tells the story of a novice Secretary of State who joins the administration of her rival.
Co-written with a prolific Canadian author of detective novels, Louise Penny, at the origin of the character of Armand Gamache, chief inspector of the security of Quebec and hero of many novels translated into French under the titles of
Le Mois le plus cruel, Under the Ice,
or
Le Beau Mystère
, she has been awarded the Agatha Christie literary prizes several times.
Conversion
We agree that the subject is low risk and that Clinton does not go out of his comfort zone.
Nevertheless, the book promises to be a hit.
Expected in American bookstores in October 2021, this book is not the first of the former opponent of Trump.
In 2003, Hillary published, among other things, her memoirs, then
The Time for Decisions
in 2014 and
It Happened Like That
in 2017.

From there to qualifying the politician as a novelist?
Hillary Clinton should perhaps believe it but does not hesitate to diversify (disperse?).
Full of projects, she decided to embark, with her daughter Chelsea Clinton, in the production of television series through their studio HiddenLight Productions.
The mother and daughter have thus won the rights to the novel
The Daughters of Kobani: A Story of Rebellion, Courage, and Justice
, by American author Gayle Tzemach Lemmon.
This verse in the arts, the whole Clinton clan seems to taste it.
For example, former president Bill also co-wrote a political thriller, this time with writer James Patterson.
Released in 2018 and titled
The President is missing
, the plot tells the kidnapping of the daughter of a former president.
