McGinniss left Alaska in September 2010 to write his book on the Palin phenomenon. Broadway Books, a division of Random House, published "The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin" on September 20, 2011. According to advance reviews, the book alleges premarital sex and drug use, allegedly including conjecture that Sarah Palin is not the biological mother of her son, Trig Palin. Early reviews by the "Los Angeles Times" and "The New York Times" criticized "The Rogue" for its use of unnamed sources and for its tone.
