She’s the lawyer. But now she’s the one on trial.

A red canoe sits abandoned on Seymour Rock, where the Saugatuck River meets Long Island Sound. The elegantly dressed corpse of a woman lies inside...

Lawyer Nora Carleton left New York for Connecticut to become lead counsel at Saugatuck Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund. Life has become slower, more predictable... that is, until Nora's colleague and friend, Helen, is brutally murdered, and she becomes the prime suspect.

Before Helen's death, she and Nora were investigating a lead: someone within Saugatuck was using insider information to undercut the company's investments. Nora knows this is linked to Helen’s murder – but how?

Calling in old colleagues from the US Attorney’s office in Manhattan, Nora must find evidence to prove her innocence and solve the case – or risk being put behind bars herself.

Reseñas de la Crítica

The second novel by James Comey... drips with authenticity and quality writing. A gripping read

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

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

[A] crowd-pleasing blend of financial thriller and Agatha Christie-esque whodunit. A third entry in the series would be welcome

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.

[A] clever, twisting Scott Turow/John Grisham-style thriller

Westport grips from the first as Comey delves into the secretive, seductive and savage world of hedge funds in his latest legal thriller

[A] fast and entertaining thriller

Gripping, slick and authentic, Westport is a compulsive crime thriller that puts the reader behind closed doors and inside the heads of heroes and monsters. I loved it.

Unbelievable, very annoying reader

Liked Central Park West a lot. Especially the characterization of Nina (feisty, smart, no stranger to sarcasm). Yet in Westport (also with a new reader) Nina is suddenly a ditzy dumbo, passively falling into an obvious trap of false accusations. Completely unbelievable that she suddenly has no knowledge of the law..no immediate suspicion…this is not helped by the readers irritating habit to read women‘s voices in mich higher pitch than her own, turning them into bimboes sounding like mikey mouse. Very odd, because the readers own voiceis very nice, the. Men‘s voices great…but all the women sound like empty heads. The contrast to the fantastic stron Nina character from the first book was too great..couldnt bear it longer than halfway.
