Read Series: John Corey
by Author Nelson DeMille
Plum Island (2002)
First in the John Corey suspense series revolving around a cop in New York City convalescing from bullet wounds. Although, the story actually takes place in Long Island.My TakeOh my god. I swear, if you look up "snark" in the dictionary, you'll find John Corey's picture. He is so incredibly funny...
The Lion's Game (2002)
Second in the John Corey suspense series revolving around a former NYPD detective.

I do enjoy his brand of humor. You...
Wild Fire (2006)

The Panther (2012)
Book #6 in the John Corey Series, a direct sequel to The Lion, takes place in Yemen; pub. 2012. The plot is tissue paper thin, bloated, mostly predictable and, except for the last 60-70 pages, seriously lacking in action and suspense. The object is for John Corey and his wife Kate Mayfield to h...
The Lion (2010)
Another De Mille book. I've not read these in any sequence therefore, John Corey and his Wife are in another pickle with a past foe Asad Kahlil, terrorist supreme, avid killer, and psychopath. Lots of people are dying, killed in many gruesome ways; shooting them being the less gruesome. I woul...
