HOPE NEVER DIES

Andrew Shaffer

An Obama Biden Mystery

This mystery thriller reunites Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama for a political mashup full of suspense, intrigue, and laugh out loud bromance.

Vice President Joe Biden is fresh out of the Obama White House and feeling adrift when his favorite railroad conductor dies in a suspicious accident, leaving behind an ailing wife and a trail of clues. To unravel the mystery, "Amtrak Joe" re-teams with the only man he's ever fully trusted--the 44th president of the United States. Together they'll plumb the darkest corners of Delaware, traveling from cheap motels to biker bars and beyond, as they uncover the sinister forces advancing America's opioid epidemic.

Part noir thriller and part bromance novel, HOPE NEVER DIES is essentially the first published work of Obama/Biden fanfiction--and a cathartic read for anyone distressed by the current state of affairs.

Andrew Shaffer is the New York Times bestselling author of more than a dozen books. He lives with his wife, novelist Tiffany Reisz, in Lexington, Kentucky, where he teaches at the non-profit Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning. This is his debut mystery.

The novel, out this week, is a roughly 300-page work of political fanfiction, an escapist fantasy that will likely appeal to liberals pining for the previous administration, longing for the Obama-Biden team to emerge from political retirement as action heroes. But it's also at times a surprisingly earnest story about estranged friends who are reunited under strange circumstances. Read more...

Sure to be one of this year's breakout summer titles.

The cool, cerebral ex-POTUS is a reasonable stand-in for Sherlock Holmes, and his ex-VPOTUS, by turns appealingly modest and laughably self-satisfied, is in some ways a better Watson than the good doctor himself.

Perfect for those seeking escape from the realities of Washington, D.C., in 2018.

In its debut week the fabulous HOPE NEVER DIES hit: -The Pacific Northwest Indie Bestsellers List The Indiebound Indie Bestseller List -The USA Today Bestsellers list

I am physically angry that this is a work of fiction. If I'm ever murdered, please put Joe Biden on the case.

[An] entertaining, offbeat whodunit... Fans of Carl Hiaasen's comic crime novels will have fun.

The feel-good read of the summer.

Hope Never Dies has humor and heart as well as plenty of adventure [with] surprisingly nuanced and tender takes on aging, masculinity, jealousy, and life after eight years in power.

Deeply weird and very funny.

n its debut week the fabulous HOPE NEVER DIES hit The New York Times Bestseller List, where it currently #15 on the paperback list.

Probably the most unlikely pair of detectives I have ever seen.

Put on your aviators and grab an ice cream cone - you're in for a hell of an Amtrak ride... and that's no malarkey.
