PLUM ISLAND is a thrilling novel from an author of consummate page-turning skill. Then Corey falls in with Emma Whitestone, an expert on Captain Kidd's lost treasure which is thought to be buried nearby. Plum Island (Corey Book 1) is a touch predictable in the sense that it plays off of the germ warfare facility on that island, but it nevertheless achieves a fresh arc involving buried treasure, no less and puts former NYPD detective John Corey on full display. He teams up with Beth Penrose, detective, working her first homicide and their visit to Plum Island reveals only that the FBI & CIA have sanitised the place. Had they been running drugs? Corey doesn't think so, although an ice-chest missing from their home points to something forbidden. Were the Gordons murdered because they'd stolen some valuable new vaccine, or even a dreaded virus? They'd obviously outspent their income.

Lab 257 blows the lid off the stunning true nature and checkered history of Plum Island. NYPD homicide detective John Corey has moved to Long Island, restlessly recuperating from wounds received in the line of duty when he's hired to consult on the murder of Tom and Judy Gordon, biologists who worked on Plum Island, the site of animal disease research for the Department of Agriculture. Strictly off limits to the public, Plum Island is home to virginal beaches, cliffs, forests, ponds - and the deadliest germs that have ever roamed the planet.
