Lethal Measures: A Novel of Medical Suspense by Leonard S. Goldberg

Forensic Pathologist Joanna Blalock is back to solve a diabolical crime
Leonard Goldberg is the highly acclaimed author of five previous suspense novels, all of which make splendid use of his expertise as a medical doctor. In Lethal Measures, a devastating explosion rocks a residential Los Angeles neighborhood, killing several presumed terrorists and innocent bystanders. Dr. Joanna Blalock is called to the scene to investigate what is left of the victims — and what at first looks like an accident caused by the mishandling of plastic explosives is unexpectedly linked to a previously unsolved murder case. By piecing together the forensic evidence, and working closely with homicide detective Jake Sinclair, Joanna unveils a horrifying, sinister plot by a group whose fanatical leader has a much more ambitious goal: to assassinate the president of the United States. In order to solve this deadly and complex mystery, Joanna and Jake race against the clock as the chosen hour approaches, putting their lives on the live to save the president, the city of Los Angeles, and ultimately the nation.
