Review Quotes:
"A whodunit gives way to a tale of espionage and counterintelligence . . . Former FBI Director Comey obviously knows his subject matter."-- "
Kirkus"
Review Quotes:
"[Comey] has proven himself to be a first-rate storyteller; certainly his expertise in the world of intelligence and intrigue gives the Carleton novels a strong feeling of verisimilitude. But it's his vividly drawn characters that really sell the stories. . . . For readers who haven't yet checked out a Nora Carleton book, the time is now."-- "

Booklist on
FDR Drive"
Review Quotes:
"[Comey's] strongest outing yet . . . This proves that Comey the crime novelist is here to stay."-- "
Publishers Weekly (starred review) for
FDR Drive"
Review Quotes:
"Comey masterfully orchestrates the legal proceedings . . . and ushers the narrative to a seemingly sound conclusion that he turns on its head with a final twist. Bolstered by Comey's easy familiarity with subjects ranging from New York City's Italian restaurants to Russia's intelligence apparatus, this sleek blend of legal thriller and spy drama goes down smooth. It's pure pleasure."-- "
Publishers Weekly"
Review Quotes:
"The courtroom is where the former prosecutor in Comey comes out to play, and he brings all the surprises and tense moments a fan of Grisham or Turow could want, as well as a plethora of wonky evidence expertise. . . . Combining an espionage thriller with a legal one was a bold move that pays off, due partly to Nora and Benny, who continue to bring humanity and bantering humor to their sometimes scary world."-- "
AirMail"
Review Quotes:
"Comey's well-crafted fusion of spy thriller, police procedural, and legal drama brings readers deep inside the bureaucracy of U.S. counterintelligence, federal prosecutions, and national security decision-making, delivering both a propulsive novel and a rare insider's view of how power, secrecy, and justice collide. This exceedingly well-crafted and highly readable thriller will appeal to fans of David McCloskey, James Grippando, and Alafair Burke."-- "
