The book will be "a unique amalgam of intrigue, suspense and
behind-the-scenes global drama from the highest corridors of
power," publishers Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group and Hachette
Book Group said in a statement.
Clinton said he had been a fan of Patterson for years and has
enjoyed working with him.
"Working on a book about a sitting president – drawing on what I
know about the job, life in the White House, and the way
Washington works – has been a lot of fun," Clinton said in a
statement.
Patterson, known for his novels featuring the psychologist Alex
Cross and for the "Women's Murder Club" series, said working
with Clinton was the highlight of his career.
"I'm a story-teller, and President Clinton's insight has allowed
us to tell a really interesting one," he said in a statement.
"It's a rare combination," he added. "Readers will be drawn to
the suspense, of course, but they'll also be given an inside
look into what it's like to be president."
