Michael Schaub at Kirkus Reviews reports that Nelson DeMille died. He was 81.
Nelson DeMille, a New York City native,
was raised on Long Island and educated at Hofstra University. He joined the
U.S. Army in 1966 and served in Vietnam, where he earned a Bronze Star.
He made his literary debut
in 1974 with the novel The Sniper,
which introduced Joe Ryker, a tough New York police detective; the character
would return in several more novels, including The Hammer of God and The Night of the Phoenix.
DeMille was known for his
series of books featuring U.S. Army investigator Paul Brenner, whom he
introduced in the 1992 novel The General’s Daughter, which was
adapted into a 1999 film starring John Travolta. He also published several
novels with the character John Corey, a retired New York detective; that series
debuted in 1997 with Plum Island.
His most recent book, Blood Lines, co-written with his son
Alex DeMille, was published last year.
