Order of Nelson DeMille Books
Nelson DeMille is an American novelist who has written such books as The General’s Daughter, The Gold Coast and the John Corey series. He has mostly written thrillers and crime fiction but he has delved outside of that with some non-fiction, albeit he tends to use pseudonyms when he does. DeMille grew up in Long Island and so many of his books are set there.
DeMille started writing in 1974 with the Joe Ryker series. Below is the order in which his books were originally published in:

I love all of his books and can’t wait for his next one.
Where does A Quiet End come?
Which book follows “The Lion”?
We could use a few more John Corey’s in the world.
You are missing the new John Corey series book…The Panther
Thanks!
Thanks, Jason! I was aware of the book, I guess I just assumed I had updated it.
