Plum Island Hardcover - 1997
by Nelson DeMille
A major veteran of the "New York Times" bestseller list delivers a fast-paced, atmospheric tale of murder on a mysterious island. When Tom and Judy Gordon are found murdered in their waterfront home on Long Island, it appears to be burglary gone wrong. Then NYPD detective John Cory discovers a completely unexpected scenario: the Gordons were stealing and selling genetically altered viruses.
From the rear cover
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. The early signs point to a burglary gone wrong. But because the Gordons were biologists at Plum Island, the offshore animal disease research site rumored to be involved in germ warfare, it isn't long before the media is suggesting that the Gordons stole something very deadly. Suddenly a local double murder becomes a crime with national and worldwide implications. 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.
