The evidence is clear that former FBI director turned bestselling nonfiction author, James Comey, has what it takes to deliver an impressive, captivating legal thriller.
In his debut novel, Central Park West, Comey not only shows the reader the inside workings of the Justice Department but with a can’t-put-it-down story of murder, political corruption and the mob as told through the eyes of those working to bring them down.
With his long career, Comey’s sense of technical realism is understandable. During his tenure with the US Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York, he served as lead prosecutor in the six-month mafia racketeering and murder trial of John Gambino in 1993. His chops as a fascinating storyteller, layering in all that detail with rich, well-drawn characters is outstanding – an exciting surprise. I can’t wait to read his next offering.
Let the record show that I highly recommend Central Park West beyond a reasonable doubt.
