Since graduating from the College of William and Mary—where he was an award-winning journalist—and the University of Chicago Law School, James Comey has been a prosecutor, defense lawyer, general counsel, teacher, writer, and leader. He most recently served in government as Director of the FBI. His best-selling book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership was published in 2018 and was made into a 2020 television limited series. His second book, Saving Justice: Truth, Transparency, and Trust, also a New York Times best-seller, was published in 2021.
Comey is also the author of the Nora Carleton series of legal thrillers, inspired by his long and varied career, including his years as a prosecutor and his leadership roles at the FBI and the Department of Justice, as well as his work as the general counsel of the world’s largest hedge fund and the world’s biggest defense contractor. His standalone thriller The Weight of Evidence draws from his work as a federal prosecutor in Richmond, Virginia.
