PREORDER JAMES COMEY'S BREATHTAKING NEW LEGAL THRILLER RED VERDICT NOW!
A gripping new case for Nora Carleton written by the former director of the FBI with an unmatched knowledge of the legal world - no one writes a legal thriller quite like James Comey...
THE LAWYER DOESN'T NEED TO SAVE HER CLIENT.
SHE NEEDS TO SAVE HERSELF.
Nora Carleton left her career as a federal prosecutor in New York to keep her daughter safe. She thought she was moving away from danger – until she finds herself implicated in the brutal murder of her new colleague.
Helen and Nora were working on a confidential assignment involving stolen client funds. They were in the middle of their investigation when Helen's lifeless body was found at the bottom of a canoe.
Nora knows this is an attempt at a cover up by some very dangerous people who want both women silenced. She knows she must finish what she started or face two awful fates:
A life behind bars or a death sentence of her own…

About the contributors
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
-
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] crowd-pleasing blend of financial thriller and Agatha Christie-esque whodunit. A third entry in the series would be welcome
Publishers Weekly
-
Comey, a former director of the FBI, once again deftly uses his insider knowledge of the US legal and financial system to deliver an informed, fast-paced story.
Financial Times
-
[A] clever, twisting Scott Turow/John Grisham-style thriller
The Sun
