Nelson DeMille's series with John Corey has always looked like a good summer read, so I started with Plum Island and having been hooked, also read The Lion's Game and Night Fall. Excellent choice if you're in a frame of mind to spend some time between the covers with some good Whodunits.
BLURB:
PLUM ISLAND
Wounded NYPD homicide detective John Corey is convalescing in rural eastern Long Island when a young couple is killed. The victims were researchers at a site rumored to be a biological warfare center. Suddenly, a local double murder takes on shattering global implications-and thrusts Corey into a dangerous search for the secret of Plum Island.
THE LION'S GAME
At New York's JFK Airport, an American task force waits for a Libyan terrorist defector. When something goes horribly wrong, federal agent John Corey follows a trail of blood for his quarry: a foe with the cunning of a lion and the bloodlust of a man. To win a desperate game with no rules, Corey must invent a strategy that leaves no room for mistakes.
NIGHT FALL
On a beach, a couple with a video camera record their love-making-and the explosion of TWA Flight 800. Now on the fifth anniversary of a blast that was blamed on mechanical failure, agent John Corey and his partner reopen the case. They will hunt for the crucial video-and race toward an elusive truth even more horrifying than the crash itself.
Blurb END
About ½-way through the first of
Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas book. Interesting but so far not as much as DeMilles trio.
These heat waves are great for reading while recovering from surgery.
