James Comey officially released his latest novel, Red Verdict, on May 12, 2026. The book, which centers on a character named Nora, marks his fourth foray into fiction amidst his ongoing legal battles.
Tim Miller of The Bulwark Podcast has leaned into the book's release as a form of quasi-escapism for readers. While Miller joked that he was “kind of hoping that your fourth book was gonna be something totally different, like a romance or something,” he ultimately encouraged listeners to pick up the thriller for their “Rehoboth Beach reading for you guys as we get into summer season.”
Despite the heavy subject matter of the Department of Justice and the author's own legal proceedings, the reception from The Bulwark Podcast remains firmly supportive. Miller concluded his coverage by telling his audience to “go support Jim Comey” and dive into his back catalog of novels as well.
