But in a first, Clinton has launched a fictional crime novel dubbed, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/en\/book\/show\/56898262-state-of-terror\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">State of Terror<\/a>. <\/em>Released this week, it was written in partnership with acclaimed crime author Louise Penny.<\/p>\n<p>While it is incredible to imagine Clinton dreaming up some far flung plot, the storyline doesn&#8217;t stray too far from what she knows and more modern historical events. It follows a former international media mogul, Ellen Adams, who is appointed U.S. secretary of state by Douglas Williams, a president whose candidacy she opposes. A series of terror attacks take place in cities across the globe, and are all seemingly linked. In a diplomatic race of life and death, Adams is forced to fly across the globe to meet with world leaders.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CUpz3YQFHbf\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
