Description
After a stint in the private sector, working at the largest hedge fund in the world, Nora Carleton has returned to her former role as a New York City federal prosecutor. And she's arrived just in time to face one of the most dangerous domestic terror attacks in the history of the city.
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
A gripping read . . . It drips with authenticity.-- "Daily Telegraph on Westport"
Comey's experience . . . brings plenty of credibility to this fast-paced legal drama.-- "Readers Digest on Central Park West"
This is a really good mystery . . . I was hooked.--Joseph Finder on Westport
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" (5/1/2025 12:00:00 AM)
"[Comey's] strongest outing yet . . . This proves that Comey the crime novelist is here to stay.-- "Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW" (3/13/2025 12:00:00 AM)
[Comey] is an expert at twisty crime mysteries.-- "Daily Mail"
