# The Maze - Hardcover

by **Nelson DeMille** (Author)

**#1 _New York Times_ bestselling author Nelson DeMille returns with a "genuinely thrilling" (_The New York Times_) suspense novel featuring his most popular series character, former NYPD homicide detective John Corey, called out of retirement to investigate a string of grisly murders much too close to home.**

Nelson DeMille introduced readers to NYPD Homicide Detective John Corey in _Plum Island_, who we first meet sitting on the back porch of his uncle's waterfront estate on Long Island, recovering from wounds incurred in the line of duty.

Six novels later, _The Maze_ opens with Corey on the same porch, having survived new law enforcement roles and romantic relationships--wiser and more sarcastic than ever. Corey is restless and looking for action, so when his former lover Detective Beth Penrose appears with a job offer, Corey has to once again make some decisions about his career--and about reuniting with Beth.

Inspired by and based on the actual and still-unsolved Gilgo Beach murders, _The Maze_ takes us on a dangerous hunt for an apparent serial killer who has murdered nine--and maybe more--sex workers and hidden their bodies in the thick undergrowth on a lonely stretch of beach.

As Corey digs deeper into this case, he comes to suspect that the failure of the local police to solve this sensational mystery may not be a result of their incompetence--it may be something else. Something more sinister.

_The Maze_ features John Corey's politically incorrect humor, matched by his brilliant and unorthodox investigative skills, along with the shocking plot twists that are the trademark of the bestselling author Nelson DeMille, "the master of smart, entertaining suspense" (_Bookreporter_).
