John Corey is a homicide detective with the NYPD and is currently recuperating in the North Fork of Long Island from being shot three times. The local sheriff with a double murder to solve approaches him. John is reluctant to help, and the only reason he does help is because he knows the victims.

The case …, Tom and Judy Gordon are found outside their home dead. The next-door neighbor insists that they came home late on their boat, but never heard the gun going off. The problem that makes this case so dangerous, the couple worked on Plum Island that contains a virus and bacteria research facility.

Were the Gordons murdered because they’d stolen some valuable new vaccine, or even a dreaded virus? They’d obviously outspent their income. Had they been running drugs? Corey doesn’t think so, although an ice-chest missing from their home points to something forbidden. He teams up with Beth Penrose, detective, working her first homicide and their visit to Plum Island reveals only that the FBI & CIA have sanitized the place. Then Corey falls in with Emma Whitestone, an expert on Captain Kidd’s lost treasure that is thought to be buried nearby…

Suddenly, a local double murder takes on shattering global implications — and thrusts Corey and two extraordinary women into a dangerous search for the secret of PLUM ISLAND…

The main character John Corey is such a sarcastic smart-ass that he is great! I liked his style and his humor… although the woman who works with him would disagree with that. He is one reason this is my favorite Nelson DeMille book.
