Jake Tapper’s debut novel due out next year

Jake Tapper is penning what could be considered an “alternative fact”-filled book: a fictional thriller about a congressman in the 1950s.

The debut novel from CNN’s “The Lead” host will be called “The Hellfire Club,” according to a Monday report from The Associated Press.

The book follows Rep. Charles Marder, a young New York lawmaker in the Eisenhower era, and his zoologist wife, Margaret.

Tapper said in a statement the book will “combine Washington intrigue” and a “fascinating time period” and will incorporate real-life political figures such as then-Vice President Richard Nixon and the Kennedy family.

The novel is poised to hit shelves in the summer of 2018.
