Description
In a new legal thriller by the former director of the FBI, federal prosecutor Nora Carleton and legendary investigator Benny Dugan confront a deadly sect of political extremists.
A threat is building in the city, with far right extremism powered by internet demagogues and funded by shadowy organizations. Together with legendary investigator Benny Dugan and aided by colleagues at the FBI, Nora builds a case against one of the key players in this burgeoning movement, arguing before a jury that some speech is actually a deadly crime. But the menace taking root is far bigger than any courtroom, and as the militants target an upcoming United Nations rally, Nora and her team must race to disrupt the plans and minimize casualties.
At once a fast-paced legal thriller and a close look at the very real perils of political extremism, FDR Drive harnesses former FBI director James Comey’s life experience to tell an authentic and compelling narrative that readers won’t soon forget.
Reviews
"“[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." — Booklist
"[Comey] is an expert at twisty crime mysteries." — Daily Mail
"A gripping read . . . It drips with authenticity." — Daily Telegraph on Westport
