On the heels of their 2018 hit, 'The President is Missing', former US President Bill Clinton and bestselling author James Patterson are teaming up once again for a new crime thriller. The duo's latest novel, 'The President's Daughter', is set to hit shelves in the US in June 2021.
According to a summary of the novel, the plot centers around a former president who hopes to lay low after losing a second term, only to have an 'imminent threat' to his daughter force him back into action.
Clinton and Patterson's partnership has proven to be a winning formula, with their debut novel selling over 3 million copies worldwide.
Clinton, a prolific author in his own right, has written several books, including his 2004 best-selling memoir 'My Life'. His daughter, Chelsea Clinton, is also an accomplished author of children's books.
Patterson, the world's top-earning author, with a net worth of $94 million, according to Forbes, has written numerous bestselling titles, including 'Kiss the Girls' and 'Along Came a Spider'.
Clinton, 73, expressed his excitement about working with Patterson again, saying, 'Working with @BillClinton has been a highlight of my career and I'm thrilled to have the chance to write with him again.'
