"I, John Corey by name, convalescing cop by profession, was sitting on my uncle's back porch, deep in a wicker chair with shallow thoughts running through my mind It occurred to me that the problem with doing nothing is not knowing when you're finished."

Wounded in the line of duty, NYPD homicide detective John Corey convalesces in the Long Island township of Southold, home to farmers, fishermen—and at least one killer. Tom and Judy Gordon, a young, attractive couple Corey knows, have been found on their patio, each with a bullet in the head. The local police chief, Sylvester Maxwell, wants Corey's big-city expertise, but Maxwell gets more than he bargained for.
The early signs point to a burglary gone wrong. But because the Gordons were biologists at Plum Island, the offshore animal disease research site rumored to be involved in germ warfare, it isn't long before the media is suggesting that the Gordons stole something very deadly. Suddenly a local double
(continued from front flap)
murder becomes a crime witii national and worldwide implications.
John Corey doesn't like mysteries, which is why he likes to solve them. His investigations lead him into the lore, legends, and ancient secrets of northern Long Island—more deadly and more dangerous than he could ever have imagined. During his journey of discovery, he meets two remarkable women. Detective Beth Penrose and Mayflower descendant Emma Whitestone, both of whom change his life irrevocably. Ultimately, through his understanding of the murders, John Corey comes to understand himself.
Fast-paced and atmospheric, marked by entrancing characters, incandescent storytelling, and brilliant comic touches, PLUM ISLAND is Nelson DeMille at his thrill-inducing best.
Nelson DeMille, a Long Island native, is the author of eight other acclaimed novels, including the New York Times bestsellers Spencerville, The General's Daughter, The Gold Coast, The Charm School, and Word of Honor.
