About this item

Former FBI director James Comey takes listeners into the world of high finance and corporate espionage in this riveting thriller.

It's been two years since Nora Carleton left the job she loved at the US Attorney's Office to become lead counsel at Saugatuck Associates, the world's largest hedge fund. The career change also meant a change of scenery, relocating her to Westport, Connecticut, fifty miles north of New York City. But it was worth it to get her daughter, Sophie, away from the city. Plus, she likes the people she works with. Especially Helen, who recruited Nora because of her skills as an investigator.

Then, Nora's new life falls apart when a coworker is murdered and she becomes the lead suspect. Nora calls in her old colleagues from the US Attorney's Office, Mafia investigator Benny Dugan and attorney Carmen Garcia. To clear Nora's name, Benny and Carmen hunt for the true killer's motive, but it seems nearly everyone at Saugatuck has secrets worth killing for. As Benny sets out to interrogate her colleagues, Nora examines her history with the company to determine who set her up to take the fall.

    Again, Mr. Comey has entertained me highly. I like it that there is always something to teach me in his books. I'll gladly read another.

    Really enjoyed Comey’s first book. Excellent story with a lot of twists and turns. Best of all was the cast of characters. Very relatable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars a modern day “who dunnit”
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024
    A great “who dunnit” with lots of interesting education on the law, FBI, police procedure, etc. Even after you find out who did it, it’s not a traditional ending. The book also shows the good guys, bad guys, and then the various shades of each. Characters can be good with some bad in them and bad with some good in them. An interesting read that had me turning the pages to get to the answers!

    A really great book. Compares to John Sanford. Top notch. I really hope he continues this series.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Too long and a disappointing ending.

    The book lasted longer than the story. Meaning it was too long. I was disappointed with the ending. It was not worth the slog.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Comey can write a good novel!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2024
    I was skeptical about reading a novel written by a former FBI Director, thinking it would be too esoteric but I was engrossed in the plot immediately. Who would have guessed??? My only criticism is that the first sentence of the first chapter contained a major typo/word use error which threw me off. There are a couple of typos later on but starting a book with an error if off-putting. If the author wants a proofreader, I would be glad to do it! If it is made into a movie, who will play Benny? Congrats on a fine story.
