In Lethal Measures, a devastating explosion rocks a residential Los Angeles neighborhood, killing several presumed terrorists & 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, & 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 & complex mystery, Joanna & Jake race against the clock as the chosen hour approaches, putting their own lives on the line to save the president, the city of Los Angeles, & ultimately the nation.
