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.

      December 2021 is when it is listed for release. December 7th to be exact is the current date although that can change. I believe it was originally scheduled to be released in June but has been pushed back.
