Summary
James Comey has just come out with his latest novel FDR Drive. This legal thriller once again follows federal prosecutor Nora Carleton as she contends with a wave of violence tied to an extremist podcaster.
We had the opportunity to speak with James Comey about the new book, the shades of gray between free speech and incitation, and his own memories of dealing with institutional rivalries, reluctant jurors, and high-profile cases as a prosecutor.
