This nervy and captivating memoir blends riveting personal narrative with a bracing call to action. Lisa Cornwell never shied away from standing up to bullies. As a college freshman, she witnessed an enraged man hit a woman with a closed fist while a paralyzed crowd looked on. Seconds later, she took matters into her own hands—with a 3-iron from her golf bag. This enduring impulse crystalized years later when she decided to speak out against the misogynistic corporate culture she and others had endured at her employer, Golf Channel. She was instantly branded a troublemaker, but for Cornwell, that was nothing new. In this authentic and outspoken memoir, Cornwell takes readers into the boys' club of sports media and inside the buttoned-up world of golf while revealing the unlikely yet formative touchstones of her life, from a close friendship with Tiger Woods when both were nationally ranked junior golfers, to the decision she made to walk away from an anticipated professional career playing the sport she'd always loved. At the same time, Cornwell lays bare the experiences of reckoning with her sexuality in a Southern Baptist community, battling an eating disorder, and discovering a passion for broadcast journalism which would eventually lead her to Golf Channel.Candid and compulsively readable, Troublemaker serves as a reminder of the ability we hold to stand up to Goliaths and the power in finding one's own path.

Den canadiske krimiforfatter Louise Penny spurgte Hillary Clinton: Hvordan vil du beskrive dit værste mareridt i din tid som udenrigsminister? Svaret var en terrorstat. Et land ude af kontrol, som befinder sig i en tilstand af kaos, frygt og håbløshed.Det blev startskuddet på et samarbejde mellem en af verdens bedste krimiforfattere og en af USA’s mest markante ledere. I Tilstand af terror møder vi en idealistisk, men grøn, udenrigsminister, som har tilsluttet sig sin rivals administration; en præsident, der er indsat efter fire år med et amerikansk lederskab, hvor USA har været usynlig på den internationale scene. En række terrorangreb ryster den globale orden, og udenrigsministeren må samle et hold i forsøget på at afsløre en dødbringende konspiration. En sammensværgelse, der er omhyggeligt designet til at udnytte, at den amerikanske regering har mistet føling og er uden magt dér, hvor magten betyder mest.Tilstand af terror er en hæsblæsende thriller om internationale intriger, i en verden af diplomati og forræderi, og giver et sjældent indblik i det globale drama, der udspiller sig bag kulisserne og som kun en politisk insider vil kunne kende til.

En ny president har tagit över efter en kaosartad tid i amerikansk politik. För att tysta sina hårdaste kritiker och ena det splittrade landet utser presidenten sin politiska rival Ellen Adams till utrikesminister. När en rad terrorattacker på nytt hotar att sätta världen i brand måste den nytillträdda utrikesministern visa vad hon går för. Ellen Adams inser snart att landet är utsatt för en konspiration och att insatserna är högre och landets fiender närmre än hon kunnat föreställa sig. För att slå tillbaka sätter hon samman ett specialteam bestående av tre personer: en ung, driven kvinnlig utrikestjänsteman, sin närmaste vän och rådgivare, samt sin egen dotter. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON är den första kvinnan i USA som blivit presidentkandidat för ett större politiskt parti. Hon var utrikesminister i Barack Obamas regering efter att i nästan fyra decennier arbetat i offentlig tjänst, främst som talesperson inom familjepolitik. Hon är hustru, mamma, mormor och författare till sju tidigare böcker. LOUISE PENNY är en internationellt prisbelönt författare vars böcker har legat överst på topplistorna i New York Times, USA Today och Torontobaserade Globe and Mail. Hennes böcker om kommissarie Amanda Gamache har översatts till över 30 språk. 2017 belönades hon med hedersutmärkelsen Order of Canada för sin insats för den kanadensiska kulturen. Louise Penny bor strax utanför Montréal. "Spännande och insiktsfullt där Hillary förstås har full koll på maktspelet på högsta nivå." - Kenneth Gysing, Femina "En gripande, trovärdig, nervkittlande thriller som får läsarna att ifrågasätta hur mycket som är fiktion och hur mycket som bygger på verkligheten." - Karin Slaughter, författare "Så äkta så att det känns som att tjuvlyssna i maktens korridorer." - Joseph Kanon, författare

Poikkeuksellisen kirjailijakaksikon timantinkova trilleriHillary Rodham Clintonin ja Louise Pennyn Terrorin valta vie kansainvälisen politiikan ytimeen taidolla, jonka vain politiikan sisäpiiriläinen ja ylistetty dekkarimestari osaavat.Yhdysvaltojen poliittinen tilanne on kiehumassa yli. Kansasta piittaamaton presidentti on neljän vuoden jälkeen viimein jättänyt Valkoisen talon, ja uusi hallinto on astumassa virkaan. Tuore presidentti yllättää kansakunnan nimittämällä uudeksi ulkoministeriksi Ellen Adamsin, pahimman poliittisen kilpakumppaninsa. Nimitys ei ole täysin pyyteetön, sillä presidentti pääsee eroon kovimmasta kriitikostaan sysäämällä tämän yllättäen kansainväliseen valokeilaan.Kongressin kokoontuessa ensimmäistä kertaa Pakistanin suhteista vastaava diplomaatti Anahita Dahir saa kännykkäänsä nimettömän uhkausviestin. Hetkeä myöhemmin itsemurhapommittaja räjäyttää bussin Lontoon ydinkeskustan aamuruuhkassa. Tunnin päästä toinen pommi räjähtää Pariisissa ja heti perään kolmas Frankfurtissa.Nimetön viesti paljastuu hätäisesti kirjoitetuksi varoitukseksi. Terrori-iskujen sarja on vasta alkusoittoa kansainväliset rajat ylittävälle takaa-ajolle, jonka ytimessä ovat ydinaseet ja nouseva terroristijärjestö. Tuore ulkoministeri joutuu tulikokeeseen: hänen tiiminsä tehtävänä on estää kansainvälinen ydintuho. Paineen kasvaessa hän joutuu kohtaamaan uhan myös täysin toisesta suunnasta: ovatko kaikki hänen lähipiirissään rehellisin aikein liikkeellä?

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER​ Named one of the most anticipated novels of the season by People, Associated Press, Time, Los Angeles Times, Parade, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Guardian, Publishers Weekly, and more. From the #1 bestselling authors Hillary Clinton and Louise Penny comes a novel of unsurpassed thrills and incomparable insider expertise--State of Terror. 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.
