Overview
She’s the lawyer. But now she’s the one on trial. A red canoe sits abandoned on Seymour Rock, right where the Saugatuck River meets Long Island Sound. The elegantly dressed corpse of a woman lies inside... Nora Carleton left New York to become lead counsel at Saugatuck Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund, where her life has become slower, more predictable. That is until her colleague and friend, Helen, is brutally murdered – and she becomes the prime suspect. In the months leading up to Helen’s death, she and Nora were investigating someone within the company who was using insider information to undercut Saugatuck’s investments. Nora knows this is somehow linked to Helen’s murder – if only she can see how. Calling in old colleagues from the US Attorney’s office, Mafia investigator Benny Dugan and attorney Carmen Garcia, Nora must find evidence to prove her innocence – or risk being put behind bars herself... 'This is a really good mystery, expertly told and filled with the sort of detail only an insider could provide, including intrigue at the world’s largest hedge fund. Once I picked it up, I was hooked.' Joseph Finder Reviews for James Comey 'A great read. Brimming with been-there-done-that authority.' Michael Connelly 'A masterful blend of legal thriller, police procedural and psychological drama.' Jeffery Deaver 'A bold new talent in the mystery genre.' Harlan Coben

Reviews
The second novel by James Comey... drips with authenticity and quality writing. A gripping read * Daily Telegraph, 5* review * The former director of the FBI confirms with this second novel that he is an expert at twisty crime mysteries... Riveting and authentic, it reads like Grisham * Daily Mail * [A] crowd-pleasing blend of financial thriller and Agatha Christie-esque whodunit. A third entry in the series would be welcome * Publishers Weekly * Excels in detailing the legal process’s mechanics... good at the human stuff too, conjuring vivid characters and dialogue. Comey cannily taps into the vogue for flaying the super-rich, making his hedgie suspects as nonchalantly nasty as Agatha Christie’s toffs * The Times *
A sufficiently crowd-pleasing blend of financial thriller and Agatha Christie-esque whodunit. A third entry in the series would be welcome * Publishers Weekly *
