Stephen Englehart, an Armed Forces medical examiner. dedicates his life to bringing peace to the families of fallen soldiers. Tagged as one of the best, he’s able to spot forensic clues others miss. But when the body of a US Marine, supposedly burned beyond recognition, shows up with hardly a scratch, even Stephen is stumped. Were the bodies switched? Then, in the middle of the autopsy, the impossible happens.

Something incredible—and dangerous—is happening to the military’s elite, and Stephen may be the only one who can figure it out. And when Stephen’s sister, a Green Beret, goes missing, the entire military machine seems designed to stop him from finding her.

My Thoughts

Heroic Measures is written by  Dr. Joel Shulkin. This is a fast paced military and medical thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is the first book that I have read by this author and it will not be my last. 

Stephen Englehart  has skeletons in his closet. He never got over his parent's death - and he channels that frustration and tension into pathology. He is a medical examiner in the military. He soon uncovers that bodies are being mislabeled. There is even a body that is not dead when they come in. He starts to dig deeper and he finds a lot of coverups. In order to sort it all out, he has to confront the demons in his past. 

The author writes the scenes in so much detail that you feel like you are standing in the corner watching everything unfold.
