The conspiracy thriller is the first book in a planned five-book series and will be released in multiple formats, with preorders open now.

Why it matters: - House of Vale: The Selection is Patrick Perrine’s first thriller and the start of a planned five-book series. - The book extends Perrine’s publishing run to 18 books and moves his work into a new genre. - The launch includes a private event at Hotel del Coronado, tying the book’s release to a landmark San Diego location.

What happened: - Perrine Publications announced that House of Vale: The Selection publishes on Oct. 13, 2026. - The private, invitation-only launch event is set for Sunday, Oct. 18, at The Del Club at Hotel del Coronado. - One chapter of the novel takes place inside the hotel. - The book is by San Diego author and entrepreneur Patrick Perrine.

The details: - House of Vale: The Selection is a conspiracy thriller about Adrian Vale, a founder who is summoned to a villa on Lake Como by a hidden network called the Trust. - The story moves through San Diego, London, Dubai, Kerala, Lake Como and New York. - Perrine says the novel begins in Hutchinson, Minnesota, where he grew up, and that town is the seat of the Trust. - Perrine said the book grew out of material he originally intended for a business book and that the fiction is inspired by fragments of his real life. - Perrine said, “The doors in this book are real. The house isn’t.” - Perrine founded his first company at 24 and has since built seven companies. - Perrine has also worked as a fractional COO and operating partner inside the boardrooms of other companies. - House of Vale: The Selection will publish in hardcover, paperback, ebook and audiobook. - All formats are available for pre-order at the official book site. - The Kindle edition is also available for pre-order at Amazon. - Signed first-edition hardcovers and the collector’s edition are available only through the official book site. - Book details list Perrine Publications as the publisher and Oct. 13, 2026, as the publication date.

Between the lines: - The book is being positioned in the lineage of Michael Clayton, The Firm and Robert Harris, signaling a thriller built around power, systems and corporate tension rather than action-heavy set pieces. - Perrine’s business background appears to be central to the book’s premise and marketing, which may appeal to readers who like corporate and boardroom thrillers. - The Hotel del Coronado launch suggests Perrine is using place-based storytelling as part of the book’s rollout.
