State of Terror by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny
After a tumultuous period in American politics, a new administration has just been sworn in, and, to everyone's surprise, the President of the United States chooses a political enemy for the vital position of Secretary of State.
There is no love lost between the President and Ellen Adams, his new Secretary of State. But it's a canny move on the part of the President. With this appointment, he has control over one of his harshest critics.
Within weeks of Adams's appointment, terrorists strike a series of horrific blows. As the State Department is in disarray and disrepute, the new Secretary of State must scramble t o figure out what has happened and what will happen next. Adding to the crisis, the previous administration left the country without many friends or allies. America finds itself out of touch with international affairs, out of practice with diplomacy, and out of power in the places where, and when, it counts the most.
Secretary Adams soon realizes the conspiracy is more intricate, the stakes are higher, and the enemies of the state are much closer than she ever could have imagined.
To fight back, she assembles a surprising team of allies, including her own daughter, a passionate young female foreign service officer, and the Secretary's closest friend and advisor.
State of Terror is a unique and utterly compelling international thriller cowritten by Louise Penny, a multiple award-winning #1 New York Times bestselling novelist, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, the 67th Secretary of State.
