Summary

We got to speak with former FBI director James Comey last year just as his first novel — Central Park West — was released. It introduced readers to federal prosecutor Nora Carleton, who was working to convict organized crime figures in New York. The book was a terrific read; even though it was a fictional work, Comey packed it full of real world details that could only come from someone who had himself actually prosecuted mobsters. A year later, Comey — and Nora — are back. In his new book, Westport, Nora finds herself in some new situations. Not only is she now working in corporate law but she is also suspected of the murder of a colleague.

In this conversation, we speak with James Comey about the new book, white collar crimes, corporate law, and the challenge of finding people who will tell you when you suck.
