Love Interests
When Corey is first introduced in Plum Island, he is separated and eventually divorced from his first wife, defense attorney Robin Paine, who makes a brief appearance in Night Fall. The ostensible reason for the separation is due to a change in her career; she had stopped working on Corey's side of the law, as a Manhattan assistant district attorney, and had become a high-paid defense attorney for the criminals he was trying to "put in the slammer".
In Plum Island, he becomes romantically involved with two characters he meets in the course of his investigation:
- Emma Whitestone - florist (business owner), archivist and President of the Peconic Historical Society
- Elizabeth (Beth) Penrose - homicide detective for the Suffolk County Police
Corey's involvement with Penrose continues in The Lion's Game, where he meets and later marries FBI agent Kate Mayfield.

Famous quotes containing the words love and/or interests:
“You women could make someone fall in love even with a lie.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
“It’s not greed and ambition that makes wars—it’s goodness. Wars are always fought for the best of reasons, for liberation or manifest destiny, always against tyranny and always in the best interests of humanity. So far this war, we’ve managed to butcher some 10,000,000 people in the interest of humanity. The next war, it seems we’ll have to destroy all of man in order to preserve his damn dignity.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
