Westport is a sequel to the author’s debut book, Central Park West, and sees the return of US attorney Nora Carleton. Having departed the US Attorney’s office, Carleton has moved to Connecticut as lead counsel to a hedge fund.
When Carleton's boss is found dead, it becomes clear someone is trying to frame her for the murder. With local police convinced of her guilt, she finds herself in a race to secure evidence this is not the case before it’s too late.
As a writer, Comey’s style is not unlike that of John Grisham and as with that author, knowledge and understanding of the US legal system lends authenticity to this suspenseful thriller. Good characters, an intriguing plot, good writing.
You will not be disappointed.

Westport Synopsis
She's the lawyer. But now she's the one on trial.
A red canoe sits abandoned on Seymour Rock, right where the Saugatuck River meets Long Island Sound. The elegantly dressed corpse of a woman lies inside...
Nora Carleton left New York to become lead counsel at Saugatuck Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, where her life has become slower, more predictable. That is until her colleague and friend, Helen, is brutally murdered – and she becomes the prime suspect.
In the months leading up to Helen's death, she and Nora were investigating someone within the company who was using insider information to undercut Saugatuck's investments. Nora knows this is somehow linked to Helen's murder – if only she can see how.
Calling in old colleagues from the US Attorney's office, Mafia investigator Benny Dugan and attorney Carmen Garcia, Nora must find evidence to prove her innocence – or risk being put behind bars herself...
