After a stint in the private sector, working at the largest hedge fund in the world, Nora Carleton has returned to her former role as a New York City federal prosecutor. And she's arrived just in time to face one of the most dangerous domestic terror attacks in the history of the city. A threat is building in the city, with far right extremism powered by internet demagogues and funded by shadowy organizations. Together with legendary investigator Benny Dugan and aided by colleagues at the FBI, Nora builds a case against one of the key players in this burgeoning movement, arguing before a jury that some speech is actually a deadly crime. But the menace taking root is far bigger than any courtroom, and as the militants target an upcoming United Nations rally, Nora and her team must race to disrupt the plans and minimize casualties.

At once a fast-paced legal thriller and a close look at the very real perils of political extremism, FDR Drive harnesses former FBI director James Comey's life experience to tell an authentic and compelling narrative that readers won't soon forget.

She wasn't quite sure of the next step, needed to get her bearings.

And as she wasn't the type of person to rush into things without thinking, she took time to, well, think. It was a policy that had always served her well.

I really like the Readest app for syncing DRM-free ebooks between my phone, tablet, and computer (and if I ever manage to save up for a Boox ereader, I’ll use it there too). It’s super customizable and syncs up to 500 MB of data for free, which is a LOT of ebooks (as long as they aren’t image-heavy). Open-source and has versions for Mac, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android, and web. #Reading #Books @bookstodon

I’ve written a few thoughts on Heart the Lover by Lily King, 2025, an enjoyable read about college days and the impact those early relationships can have later in life. I liked it but didn’t love it as much as I’d hoped to #bookstodon #reading #audiobook #BookReview @bookstodon
