Hail to the Chief! The following is an updated list Presidential Crime Fiction list for President's Day. Hail to the Chief! We now have a 'real' president in office! The following updated list featuring U.S. President in mysteries, thrillers, and crime fiction is so relevant today. The list is divided into categories, but I added more titles at the end under 'other' and a separate list of Abraham Lincoln Mysteries. Of course, there are many overlaps, so scroll through them all. This is not a definitive list, and I welcome any additions. Post your favorites in the comments section. A big thriller on the list this year is The President is Missing by former President Bill Clinton with James Patterson. And, I really enjoy Hope Never Dies: An Obama Biden Mystery and Hope Rides Again by Andrew Shaffer. There's a sequel out.
