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.

This is a really good mystery--expertly told and filled with the sort of detail only an insider could provide, including intrigue at the world's largest hedge fund. Once I picked it up, I was hooked.--Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of House on Fire

Entertaining . . . [A] crowd-pleasing blend of financial thriller and Agatha Christie-esque whodunit. A third entry in the series would be welcome.-- "Publishers Weekly" (2/13/2024 12:00:00 AM)

Intricately constructed with plenty of surprises . . . A sterling follow-up to Comey's smashing debut.-- "Booklist" (3/1/2024 12:00:00 AM)

It drips with authenticity . . . A gripping read.-- "Daily Telegraph" (5/21/2024 12:00:00 AM)

Impressive . . . Similar to an Agatha Christie mystery, Westport provides many suspects and possible motives for murder. Each revelation seems to change the direction of this taut and well-plotted thriller.-- "BookReporter" (6/1/2024 12:00:00 AM)

[Comey] is an expert at twisty crime mysteries. . . . Riveting and authentic, [Westport] reads like Grisham.-- "Daily Mail" (6/7/2024 12:00:00 AM)

While the former FBI boss and prosecutor Comey predictably excels in detailing the legal process's mechanics, he's surprisingly good at the human stuff too, conjuring vivid characters and dialogue.-- "Times (UK)" (6/9/2024 12:00:00 AM)

Brimming with been-there-done-that authority, it's clear James Comey knows this world like the back of his hand. And he delivers it with the addictive style of an expert storyteller.--Michael Connelly on Central Park West
