Synopsis

`The dream team delivers big time ... Clinton's insider secrets and Patterson's storytelling genius make this the political thriller of the decade.' - Lee Child ________________________________ The President is Missing. The world is in shock. But the reason he's missing is much worse than anyone can imagine.

The Day of the Jackal for the twenty-first century.' - A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window 'This book moves like Air Force One. Big and fast.' - Michael Connelly, author of the Harry Bosch series 'The President Is Missing is a big, splashy juggernaut of a novel, combining thrills with a truly authentic look at the inner happenings in Washington. I read it in one gulp. You will too.' - Harlan Coben, #1 bestselling author of Don't Let Go `Yes, The President is Missing is fiction - it's a thriller - but James Patterson and I have come up with three of the most frightening days in the history of the presidency. And it could really happen... These days, the seemingly impossible can happen. And it happens so fast. I believe that readers will not soon forget President Jonathan Duncan and his story.' - Bill Clinton `Needless to say, we had some great conversations about the presidency, what life in Washington is really like, and about the state of America and the rest of the world.' - James Patterson `I felt like I was right along with the characters for the shocking twists and turns you'll never guess are coming.

Marry the political savvy of Bill Clinton with the craftsmanship of James Patterson and you get a fabulously entertaining thriller that is meticulous in its portrayal of Washington politics, gripping in its pacing, and harrowing in its depiction of the perils of cyberwarfare.

The book's biggest selling point is the guarantee of political authenticity... the kite-mark of unmatchable psychological veracity...
