No one has been pursued by Donald Trump with more fervor than James Comey, who has been threatened with criminal investigations ever since Trump fired him as the head of the F.B.I., in 2017. Now the Justice Department is targeting Comey for supposedly inciting violence against Trump, because he posted—and quickly took down—a photo of beach shells that spelled out “86 47.” It is also fair to say that no one dumped by Trump has re-invented himself more successfully than Comey, whose turn to mystery writing has produced two acclaimed best-sellers, Central Park West and Westport. How many first-time thriller writers are praised by Harlan Coben, Michael Connelly, and Ian Rankin?
His latest is FDR Drive, and once again we follow the intrepid Nora Carleton, who is back as a federal prosecutor after a stint in private practice. One of Comey’s daughters is also a prosecutor, currently on the team leading the case against Sean “Diddy” Combs. Guess who once said, “I love Diddy.... He’s a good guy.” Yep, you can check it out in Season Five of The Celebrity Apprentice.
