My Review:

★★★★☆

This book has a great story. It starts out quickly with a murder. It gives no immediate clue who did it or why, which I love. I don't mind knowing who the murderer is in a book at times, but the best ones are often the ones where you are as clueless as the people trying to figure it out in the story. This book does that very well. I enjoyed that there was more to the story line than just the murder. Terrorists, military, and the Dr. being framed, all go hand in hand to make this a thrilling book.

The reason I only gave this story four stars is that I just couldn't lose myself entirely into the book. I don't know exactly what the issue was. The writing is good, the characters are believable, and the story line is engaging, but I kept finding myself not completely lost in the story. Maybe I was just having one of my off days.

I recommend this book for any adult reader that likes a good thriller or murder mystery. This contains graphic scenes of violence as well as many graphic sex scenes.

About the Author:

Dr. Glenn Shepard was raised on a farm in eastern Virginia. He attended the University of Virginia on an academic scholarship and majored in psychology. As an undergraduate, he lettered in wrestling for three years in a row. Then, he went on to become the only person in UVA history to letter in wrestling again in his sophomore year in medical school.

After completion of med school at UVA, he went to Vanderbilt where he completed his residency in general and cardiovascular surgery. He spent two years in the Army at the Ft. Gordon Army Hospital in Augusta, Georgia and The Second Surgical Hospital in An Khe, Vietnam. While in Vietnam, he wrote his first work of fiction, SURGE, which is on his back burner of works to dig out of the attic and publish, with major revisions, in the future.

For 28 years, he founded and directed The Peninsula Cranio-Facial deformities clinic that was staffed by volunteer medical, dental, social services, psychology, and speech pathology experts. The group treated over five hundred patients with cleft lips and palates, as well as a variety of deformities of the face and hand.

After the massive earthquake in Haiti in January, 2010, Dr. Shepard emerged from retirement and joined the Notre Dame Hospital unit in Leogane, Haiti for a 10 day rotation. His empathy for the people and their problems as well as his admiration for the contributions of time and talent from medical personnel from all over the world greatly inspired his second novel, RELIEF AID, HAITI.

NOT FOR PROFIT, Dr. Shepard's first thriller.
