Since graduating from the College of William and Mary in 1982 and the University of Chicago Law School in 1985, James Comey has been a prosecutor, defense lawyer, general counsel, teacher, writer, and leader. He most recently served in the US government as the Director of the FBI. His best-selling book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership was published in 2018 and was made into a 2020 television limited series. His second book, Saving Justice: Truth, Transparency, and Trust, also a New York Times best-seller, was published in 2021. His debut crime novel, Central Park West (2023), was a national bestseller, the first of a planned series of crime novels featuring attorney Nora Carleton. His newest book is Westport (2024), also a crime novel.

"Intricately constructed with plenty of surprises."
-- "Booklist on Westport"

"[Comey] is an expert at twisty crime mysteries."
-- "Daily Mail"

"[Comey's] strongest outing yet . . . This proves that Comey the crime novelist is here to stay."
-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"

"This is an exceedingly well written, perfectly paced thriller. Its subject matter, right-wing extremism and domestic terrorism, is most definitely ripped from the headlines, but Comey isn't interested in sensationalism or facile solutions to big problems--this is a subtle and thematically complex novel. . . . Fans of John Grisham or Scott Turow should check out the Nora Carleton novels, if they haven't already."
