Strhující pohled do zákulisí americké politiky Kniha bývalého šéfa FBI Jamese Comeyho se stala bestselerem ještě před vydáním. Comey tvrdě kritizuje současného prezidenta Donalda Trumpa, kterého považuje za morálně nezpůsobilého k vykonávání úřadu, přirovnává Trumpovo pojetí vládnutí ke světu mafie, do nějž jako vyšetřovatel podrobně nahlédl. Comeyho vzpomínky ale sahají mnohem dál než k současné hlavě Bílého domu, dostane se na George W. Bushe, Baracka Obamu i manžele Clintonovy. James Comey sehrál významnou roli v kauze uniklých mailů Hillary Clintonové. Kniha je strhujícím nahlédnutím za kulisy americké politiky i zamyšlením nad tím, co je podstatou dobré vlády: vyšší zájem, povznesený nad stranické loajality a směřující k prospěchu celku.
