MystereBooks is pleased to feature Plum Island by Nelson DeMille, now available at a special price, courtesy of the publisher, Grand Central Publishing.

Nelson DeMille has had several of his books adapted into film — most notably, in our opinion, the terrific murder mystery The General's Daughter starring John Travolta — but he may be best known for his series of mysteries and thrillers featuring John Corey, who began as an NYPD homicide detective in Plum Island (today's featured title) and moved on to being an anti-terrorist task force agent in the sixth book of the series, the current bestseller The Panther, which was published last month. Grand Central is giving readers a "can't miss" opportunity to be introduced to this character by providing the ebook format of Plum Island at a very attractive price.

The ebook format of this title was priced at $0.99 from the listed vendors (below) as of the date and time of this post. Prices are subject to change without notice.

Plum Island by Nelson DeMille
A John Corey Mystery (1st)
Publisher: Grand Central

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 murder becomes a crime with 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.
