Perfect for you if...

You enjoy legal thrillers with procedural detail and insider knowledge that only someone who has actually worked federal cases can provide.
You appreciate crime fiction grounded in real-world corruption rather than far-fetched plots.
You're drawn to stories where the investigation is as compelling as the mystery itself.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer cosy mysteries or crime novels with lighter tones and minimal legal jargon.
You want your thrillers to be primarily character-driven rather than plot-driven.
You're looking for a standalone novel; this is book one in a series.

About this book

Central Park West is the first crime novel from former FBI director James Comey. The story follows federal prosecutor Nora Carleton as she prepares to secure a conviction against a powerful mobster. When a witness is about to testify, a note is passed to the prosecution offering information about the assassination of a disgraced former New York governor, murdered in his penthouse apartment days earlier. This revelation sends Carleton into a high-stakes investigation involving conspiracy, corruption, and danger. The novel draws on Comey's decades in federal law enforcement, including his work as a mob prosecutor in Manhattan and later as chief federal prosecutor. It combines legal thriller elements with courtroom scenes and character-driven storytelling. The book was anticipated by Newsweek and Reader's Digest in 2023.
