A Nora Carleton Legal Thriller

Comey J: FDR Drive

FDR Drive

Prosecutor Nora Carleton takes on a hate-mongering radio host in the third gripping legal thriller by former FBI director James Comey.

Lawyer Nora Carleton returns to face her latest big case in New York City in this gripping legal thriller from the author of Central Park West and former director of the FBI, James Comey.

The gripping new legal thriller from former director of the FBI James Comey. Lawyer Nora Carleton investigates a puzzling murder in the world of high finance... but soon finds herself on trial. Readers love WESTPORT: 'Riveting and authentic... reads like Grisham.' DAILY MAIL 'A gripping read.' TELEGRAPH 'A clever, twisting thriller.' SUN 'Vivid characters and dialogue.' THE TIMES 'A really good mystery, expertly told... I was hooked.' JOSEPH FINDER She's the lawyer. But now she's the one on trial. A red canoe sits abandoned on Seymour Rock, where the Saugatuck River meets Long Island Sound. The elegantly dressed corpse of a woman lies inside... Lawyer Nora Carleton left New York for Connecticut to become lead counsel at Saugatuck Associates, the world's largest hedge fund. Life has become slower, more predictable... that is, until Nora's colleague and friend, Helen, is brutally murdered, and she becomes the prime suspect. Before Helen's death, she and Nora were investigating a lead: someone within Saugatuck was using insider information to undercut the company's investments. Nora knows this is linked to Helen's murder - but how? Calling in old colleagues from the US Attorney's office in Manhattan, Nora must find evidence to prove her innocence and solve the case - or risk being put behind bars herself. Reviews for James Comey 'Brimming with authority.' Michael Connelly 'A masterful blend of legal thriller, police procedural and psychological drama.' Jeffery Deaver 'A bold new talent.' Harlan Coben

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...

'The plot goes like a train . . . vivid and compelling' Ian Rankin

One chance to crack the case. A million ways to lose.

Federal prosecutor Nora Carleton has spent years building a case against a powerful New York mobster. She finally has a star witness whose testimony will lock the defendant away for good.

But the courtroom is an unpredictable place. While the killing of a disgraced former governor appears unconnected to the trial, the fallout from his death means a guilty verdict hangs in the balance. 

Desperate to stop the mobster walking free, Nora investigates the darker side of the city to find out how everything connects. The more she uncovers, the deeper the corruption runs. And Nora knows better than most that the truth is a fragile thing - especially in court.

Drawing on James Comey's thirty years in federal law enforcement, Central Park West is a fast-paced thriller, bursting with tension and authenticity - perfect for fans of John Grisham.

Mick Hardin Novels

Master storyteller Chris Offutt’s acclaimed crime series has been praised by Ian Rankin as “righteous Kentucky noir with top notes of Daniel Woodrell and S. A. Cosby,” and in this breakneck new novel, sheriff Mick Hardin navigates the treacherous terrain of a town’s festering secrets and the violent forces who want to keep them hidden

Lauded as a “masterclass in the craft of crime fiction” (CrimeReads), Chris Offutt’s beloved and critically acclaimed Mick Hardin series is an atmospheric, tightly crafted testament to Southern noir. The Reluctant Sheriff is a dark, bracing return to the hills of eastern Kentucky where secrets roil beneath the surface, and nothing and no one stays in the past for long.

Mick Hardin never wanted to be sheriff. An ex-Army CID officer, he’s supposed to be retired—or he was until his sister, Linda, was shot in the line of duty, requiring him to step in as interim sheriff while she recovered. Now he’s stuck in Rocksalt, the place he was most hoping to escape.

Back in uniform, Mick is chafing at the sudden dissolution of his retirement plans, wearied by the petty squabbles of Rocksalt’s townsfolk. It’s all business as usual, until the murder of a local bar owner draws an unlikely suspect who threatens to fan the flames of Mick’s past. When two more bodies turn up, seemingly unconnected to the first, Mick is forced to reckon with the mysterious circumstances of a case not so open-and-shut as everyone believes. Meanwhile, Linda is slowly healing when a familiar business tycoon with a vested interest in her returning as sheriff makes it difficult for her to remain on the sidelines.

Unflinching and devilishly compulsive, The Reluctant Sheriff is an explosive thriller confirming Chris Offutt as a Southern writer of muscular prose and unrivaled talent.

The Reluctant Sheriff

The deliciously gripping new cosy murder mystery for 2025!
