Order of John Corey Books


John Corey is a character created by American author Nelson DeMille. Corey is an retired NYPD cop who is now on special assignment for the FBI. Corey is an excellent detective and he knows it. He also doesn’t pay much respect to authority and is purposely written to not be very politically correct.

John Corey first appeared in Nelson DeMille’s novel Plum Island and although he was not intended to become a series character, popular demand caused him to make a return for The Lion’s Game and subsequent novels. Below is the order in which Nelson DeMille’s John Corey novels were originally released:
