When we realize our insignificance in this world,
it some how relieves the pressures from society to succeed -

Plum Island
By Nelson DeMille

Publisher - Warner Books

Nelson DeMille is one of my favorite authors.  I know that if I'm going to pick up one of his books, I'm going to be sitting there for awhile.  His writing is just that good that it will keep you there no matter what you're supposed to be doing. 

Luckily for me, we aren't supposed to be doing anything, so I can sit here for a long time...As I usually am with one of his books.

Plum Island is the first in a series of books with the main character John Corey.  You either love him or hate him, sometimes you do both in the same chapter. 

How can you go wrong when you have buried treasure, biological warfare, double homicides and steamy romance all on a tiny spit of land off Long Island.  Reading Plum Island, I learned so much history without even knowing I was getting a lesson. 

The story is told by a cocky, New York City detective who was wounded in the line of duty, and is supposed to be taking the summer off to recover.  Instead, John Corey is drafted to explore a couple of murders, and before you know it, he's so wrapped up in the case, there is no way out. 

Don't start reading this book unless you have a few days to sit and finish it.  You wont be able to put it down!
