Summary

The new legal thriller from former head of the FBI James Comey. Lawyer Nora Carleton must clear her name when she is accused of murder.

Description

THE LAWYER DOESN’T NEED TO SAVE HER CLIENT.
SHE NEEDS TO SAVE HERSELF.

Nora Carleton left her career as a federal prosecutor in New York to keep her daughter safe. She thought she was moving away from danger – until she finds herself implicated in the brutal murder of her new colleague.

Helen and Nora were working on a confidential assignment involving stolen client funds. They were in the middle of their investigation when Helen’s lifeless body was found at the bottom of a canoe.

Nora knows this is an attempt at a cover up by some very dangerous people who want both women silenced. She knows she must finish what she started or face two awful fates:

A life behind bars or a death sentence of her own…

A gripping new case for Nora Carleton written by the former director of the FBI with an unmatched knowledge of the legal world - no one writes a legal thriller quite like James Comey...

Critic Reviews

The second novel by James Comey... drips with authenticity and quality writing. A gripping read Daily Telegraph, 5 review
The former director of the FBI confirms with this second novel that he is an expert at twisty crime mysteries... Riveting and authentic, it reads like Grisham Daily Mail
Excels in detailing the legal process’s mechanics... good at the human stuff too, conjuring vivid characters and dialogue. Comey cannily taps into the vogue for flaying the super-rich, making his hedgie suspects as nonchalantly nasty as Agatha Christie’s toffs The Times
[A] crowd-pleasing blend of financial thriller and Agatha Christie-esque whodunit. A third entry in the series would be welcome Publishers Weekly
Comey, a former director of the FBI, once again deftly uses his insider knowledge of the US legal and financial system to deliver an informed, fast-paced story. Financial Times
[A] clever, twisting Scott Turow/John Grisham-style thriller The Sun
Westport grips from the first as Comey delves into the secretive, seductive and savage world of hedge funds in his latest legal thriller Daily Express
[A] fast and entertaining thriller Crime Time FM
Gripping, slick and authentic, Westport is a compulsive crime thriller that puts the reader behind closed doors and inside the heads of heroes and monsters. I loved it. Helen Fields *
