Join us when James Comey visits to discuss his new crime novel, Central Park West.
About the author:
Since graduating from the College of William and Mary in 1982 and the University of Chicago Law School in 1985, James Comey has been a prosecutor, defense lawyer, general counsel, teacher, writer, and leader. He most recently served in government as Director of the FBI. His best-selling book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership was published in 2018 and made into a 2020 television limited-series. His second book, Saving Justice: Truth, Transparency, and Trust, also a New York Times bestseller, was published in 2021. Jim, as he is known to family and friends, and his wife, Patrice, live in Virginia and are the parents of five and grandparents (so far) of three.
Central Park West centers on federal prosecutor Nora Carelton, whose case against a powerful mobster finally comes together as a critical witness takes the stand. At last, someone will put the defendant away for good. The mobster, though, has other plans. As the witness’s testimony concludes, he passes a note to the prosecution offering information on the assassination of a disgraced former New York governor, murdered in his penthouse apartment. The note changes everything—and thrusts Nora into a high-stakes investigation of conspiracy, corruption, and danger, all while balancing her obligations as a single mother and discovering the woman she really is.
