FDR Drive - James Comey

Résumé :
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.
