Number one New York Times best seller

Celebrating the 20th anniversary with a new foreword by the author

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.

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.

Great book!!

I loved the book but not the music in the background. I like to really get into the story so music was distracting. I have a new favorite lead man. Good sense of humor.

Went to sleep late getting through the action scenes!

Booktrack was distracting and sounded like a bad hearing test. Really enjoyed the book and the artistry of the narrator.

Great story, characters, dialogue

Don't like the music? Get the non musical version.

I've been looking for a series like this for a long time. it has that noir detective feel to it. Mystery, action, characters you get to know. I'm really excited to have found it and look forward to reading the entire series.

Scott Brick is one of my favorite narrators. Another masterful performance.

Nelson DeMille Fan

Recently someone turned me on to Nelson DeMille stories. I’m enjoying the sarcasm and interesting plots. The performance is actually good but there are some weird background noises which distract.

Excellent book and performance

One of those books that grab you right out of the gate and hold your interest to the end.looking forward to listening to Lion’s Game.

I'll definitely check out the next books in series

it took a while to get Into it, and the author dragged things out just a little bit, but overall I enjoyed it. plenty of humor and some action to go along with the suspense and the mystery of it all.

Excellent performance by Scott Bick

The storyline was longer, but easier to get into. I got a lot of beading done. I recommend this book.

Fantastic book

Love John Cory’s attitude and surprise turns everywhere make you hang on for dear life. Great escape. 🙏

Such a fun Audio

The reader was perfect!! We highly recommend this audiobook. It was engrossing and entertaining. Thumbs up.

Stop the background music

Hate the background music. It is very distracting to the story line. Please please please.
