From real-life murder trials to a chilling crime novel, Trey Gowdy is bringing his courtroom experience to readers in a whole new way.

The Fox News host and former prosecutor just announced his first-ever fiction release, The Color of Death, a psychological crime thriller set to hit shelves on August 26. Preorders are available now.

“I lived it,” Gowdy said on FOX & Friends. “I lived it for almost two decades.”

Fox News Books’ First Fiction Title
The Color of Death isn’t just Gowdy’s first novel. It’s also the first fiction release from FOX News Books. Co-written with Christopher Greyson, a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, the novel takes readers inside the high-stakes world of murder prosecution.
