"State of Terror is a stunning and exhilarating
book… "[W]hen a recent American presidential
nominee writes a book with Canada's most beloved
mystery author, attention is due....Combining
insider knowledge with high-stakes action, this
is a tale of global menace on par with the best
books of its type."
Globe and Mail
"The end, when it comes, is a neck snapper.
We have a countdown, a crash, a confrontation
and three different agents of evil all colliding
in the White House. Do not, above all, read the
end of this one first and do save it for a weekend
when you don't have to stop reading."
New York Post
"In this conspiracy thriller by HRC and
master of suspense Louise Penny, a new administration
has been sworn in, and the president has chosen
Ellen Adams, his sworn enemy, as secretary of
state. But as the president addresses Congress
for the first time, Adams receives a strange text
- and quickly realizes it's a coded threat referring
to a series of apparent terror attacks."
The Week
"State of Terror, in which Hillary Clinton
joins forces with Louise Penny, the grande dame
of crime, is dizzying, addictive, and twisty,
but what makes it wonderful-and liberating-is
that it is a female fantasy thriller. For once,
the saviours are an all-woman crew-not drop-dead
gorgeous, but sassy and smart...the book is more
than just a thriller, it is a testament to friendship."

Christian Science Monitor
"'State of Terror' pulses with the clever asides
and turns of phrase that delight Penny's fans (and there
are surprise appearances to boot). But this is its own
story. The writing duo's well-crafted thriller doesn't
shy from profanity and sharp political stabs as it hurtles
to its breathless finale."
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"[A] delightfully erudite and very disturbing
story...I consider both women to be among the most interesting
and intelligent people of our time, and they're in top
form here....The Clinton-Penny collaboration is an extraordinarily
good one, and this book...is a joy to read."
Winnipeg Free Press
"Look up 'page-turner' in the dictionary and
you might just find a picture of Clinton and Penny holding
up a copy of State of Terror. Don't forget to breathe."
C-SPAN's Book TV aired the virtual event moderated
by Stacey Abrams (click

Post & Courier
"The novel is a can’t-put-it-down thriller
in its own right, but the warnings are just as mesmerizing….Overall,
this is a readable, exciting, important work that all
concerned Americans should read and take to heart."
Mystery Scene Magazine - Robin Agnew
"This is quite a confluence of talent...a ticking
clock tale but one, because it's written by Louise Penny,
with heart."
The Times best books 2021
I am thrilled to tell you STATE OF TERROR, is on The
Times Best Books of 2021 list!
CBC Books
TATE OF TERROR was named one of the best books of
the year by CBC Books
The New York Post
The New York Post has included STATE OF TERROR in
their 25 Best Book Gifts roundup.
After a tumultuous period in American politics, a new
administration has just been sworn in, and to everyone’s
surprise the president chooses a political enemy for
the vital position of secretary of state.
There is no love lost between the president of the
United States and Ellen Adams, his new secretary of
state. But it’s a canny move on the part of the
president. With this appointment, he silences one of
his harshest critics, since taking the job means Adams
must step down as head of her multinational media conglomerate.
As the new president addresses Congress for the first
time, with Secretary Adams in attendance, Anahita Dahir,
a young foreign service officer (FSO) on the Pakistan
desk at the State Department, receives a baffling text
from an anonymous source.
Too late, she realizes the message was a hastily coded
warning.
What begins as a series of apparent terrorist attacks
is revealed to be the beginning of an international
chess game involving the volatile and Byzantine politics
of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran; the race to develop
nuclear weapons in the region; the Russian mob; a burgeoning
rogue terrorist organization; and an American government
set back on its heels in the international arena.
As the horrifying scale of the threat becomes clear,
Secretary Adams and her team realize it has been carefully
planned to take advantage of four years of an American
government out of touch with international affairs,
out of practice with diplomacy, and out of power in
the places where it counts the most.
To defeat such an intricate, carefully constructed
conspiracy, it will take the skills of a unique team:
a passionate young FSO; a dedicated journalist; and
a smart, determined, but as yet untested new secretary
of state.
State of Terror is a unique and utterly compelling
international thriller cowritten by Hillary Rodham Clinton,
the 67th secretary of state, and Louise Penny, a multiple
award-winning #1 New York Times bestselling novelist.
