Bøger af James Patterson

Det er ikke hver dag en tidligere præsident samarbejder med en bestsellerforfatter om at udgive en vaskeægte thriller, som tilbyder indsigt i verdens absolut mest magtfulde korridorer. Ikke desto mindre er det præcis, hvad Bill Clinton og James Patterson har gjort i den skræmmende page-turner “Præsidenten er forsvundet”. Der er stor krise i USA. En internetvirus truer med at sende landet tilbage til primitive tider, og da den amerikanske præsident forsvinder, opstår massivt kaos og læseren er med, når præsidenten befinder sig midt i det store drama. Det er en spændingsromanen med et gennemtænkt plot, og truslen om en internetvirus er både sandsynlig, virkelighedsnær og dybt foruroligende. Det geniale samarbejde mellem præsident og forfatter har muliggjort en spændende fortælling, som giver et helt unikt indblik i livet bag væggene i Det Hvide Hus.
