In this follow-up to Central Park West, former FBI director James Comey immerses readers in the world of high finance and corporate espionage. An abandoned red canoe rests on Seymour Rock, where the Saugatuck River meets Long Island Sound, with the elegantly dressed corpse of a woman inside. Two years after leaving her position at the US Attorney’s Office, Nora Carleton has become lead counsel at Saugatuck Associates, the largest hedge fund globally. The move to Westport, Connecticut, was meant to provide a better environment for her daughter, Sophie, and she enjoys her new colleagues, especially Helen, who recruited her for her investigative skills. However, when Helen is brutally murdered, Nora suspects she may have gotten too close to someone hiding secrets within the firm. Unexpectedly, she becomes the prime suspect in the investigation. To clear her name, Nora enlists her former colleagues, Mafia investigator Benny Dugan and attorney Carmen Garcia, to find the evidence Helen discovered before her death. They uncover that Helen had secrets on every firm member, each with a motive for murder. As Benny interrogates the team, Nora delves into her past at Saugatuck to uncover who set her up. This suspenseful tale of high finance and murder continues the saga of Nora Carleton and her investigative team, showcasing Comey as a bold new talent in the mystery genre.
