Hillary Clinton, Louise Penny thriller: An ex-president as dangerous and magnetic as Trump

'State of Terror' is about existential threats like nuclear bombs, but it also sounds alarms about leaders like the real Trump and the fictional Dunn.

There’s a moment in “State of Terror,” the new thriller by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny, when the protagonist – Ellen Adams, a spunky and fearless female secretary of State – visits former President Eric Dunn at his palatial Florida estate and attempts to describe the spell he casts.

“To be in his orbit was to experience something extraordinary. There was a pull, a promise of excitement. Of danger. Like juggling grenades. It was exhilarating. And terrifying. Even she could feel it.”
