'Twilight' author Stephenie Meyer publishing thriller

It was announced Tuesday that the author of the phenomenally successful "Twilight" books has written an adult thriller.

"The Chemist" is described as a "gripping page-turner" about "an ex-agent on the run from her former employers."

"She used to work for the U.S. government, but very few people ever knew that," the press release from publisher Little, Brown and Company states.
