REUTERS - Former U.S. President Bill Clinton is working with best-selling suspense writer James Patterson on a novel called "The President is Missing," which will be published in June 2018, the publishers said on Monday.

 

The book will be "a unique amalgam of intrigue, suspense and behind-the-scenes global drama from the highest corridors of power," publishers Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group and Hachette Book Group said in a statement.

 

Clinton said he had been a fan of Patterson for years and has enjoyed working with him.

 

"Working on a book about a sitting president – drawing on what I know about the job, life in the White House, and the way Washington works – has been a lot of fun," Clinton said in a statement.

 

Patterson, known for his novels featuring the psychologist Alex Cross and for the "Women's Murder Club" series, said working with Clinton was the highlight of his career.

 

"I'm a story-teller, and President Clinton's insight has allowed us to tell a really interesting one," he said in a statement.

 

"It's a rare combination," he added. "Readers will be drawn to the suspense, of course, but they'll also be given an inside look into what it's like to be president."

If we get  a similar book about the current one it will be titled "The President is missing his brain."

The title could be "Guess where I am wetting down my cigars today?".

Whatever gravy train she may have been riding, it's just a model train compared to the one that Donald Trump is riding while he's President.

Agreed. Classic examples of the more money you have the more you want.

The difference being that Trump is actually in office and using the powers of his office to enrich himself.
