"In Shepard's debut thriller, a plastic surgeon is framed for murder and pursued by terrorists intent on attacking U.S.military drone operations in North Carolina. Thriller fans are likely to enjoy this story of an ordinary man caught up in an international conspiracy. A fast-paced and complex medical and military thriller."-- KIRKUS REVIEWS "NOT FOR PROFIT unfolds at break-neck speed and with real medical authenticity. A fun read that's not for the faint of heart."- Daniel Kalla, best-selling author of PANDEMIC and THE FAR SIDE OF THE SKY "Slick and Intelligent, NOT FOR PROFIT is a thrill ride of a debut that whisks the reader around the globe. I had a hard time putting it down." -- Layton Green, Kindle Bestselling Author of The Dominic Grey Novels "NOT FOR PROFIT draws the reader in with terrifying details plotted with surgical accuracy. The surprises keep on coming, one barrage after the other."-- Dr. Ross Pennie, Author of the award-winning Zol Szabo mystery series in which murder is contagious. A prominent surgeon accused of murder and terrorism . . . A corrupt healthcare administrator hell-bent on bloody revenge . . . A mysterious seductress whose secrets could free the doctor and kill thousands . . . A terrorist cell with missiles aimed at a leading hospital in America's Bible Belt . . . Not for Profit takes you on an action-packed thrill ride that will have you questioning suspects, motives, and outcomes until the very last page. Renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Scott James is charged with murder after two bodies are found at his surgery center. Just weeks before the start of his capital murder trial, Dr. James is approached by a beautiful woman claiming she can help him gain information that would prove his innocence. As James hunts down the evidence that might free him, he faces a barrage of threats to his life and liberty-and makes one chilling discovery after another: Corporate corruption. A conspiracy to frame him for murder and for terrorist acts. A secret drone-control operation that takes out targets in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The true identity and intent of his beautiful ally. And a plot to blow up the local hospital and surrounding community.… (altro)

I never knew that Orchids were so informative. There is so much about them that I never knew. My sister inherited Orchids from her mother in law. One her father in law grew from seed. So I was fascinated by this plot. The medical drama plot was also interesting to me because I know very little about medical terminology. The Terrorist plot reminded me of WarGames. One person can make a huge difference, good or bad. I recommend this book for mystery, spy, medical and regular thriller fans. I am giving this book a 5/5. It kept me reading and questioning all the characters until the very end.
I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own.

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.

With all the changes in healthcare and insurance these days I have noticed that more and more doctors are switching from giving medical care to writing fiction--I am not sure this is a good sign but they sure can write!

This is definitely a book that has twists and turns and counter turns. It was hard to keep up with who were the good guys and who the bad since the lines seemed to blur. An intriguing novel about terrorists both from the US and from the Middle East and how a hospital administrator and plastic surgeon, once long time friends turn into bitter enemies. Be careful how you treat people-it may come back to haunt you. I'm really not sure how Orchids come into play but there is a lot of information about them at the beginning of each chapter. The plastic surgeon grows them in his surgical suite. The title of the book is easier to understand. A Not for Profit Hospital is being sold out--to become a Profit Hospital which would essentially deny services to those most needing them. ( )

This is an amazing book that ties in drama, mystery, love, and even terrorist activity from around the world to right back home in the Bible Belt! It is riveting, intriguing, and Dr. Shepard expertly parallels the life cycles of different orchids with what is going on in the book. This book had me captivated until the last word, and then had me begging for more! ( )

Looking for a thriller to pass the time between now and Thanksgiving? Look no more! Not for Profit by Glenn Shepard, MD is a look into a mysterious world filled with terrorism, hospital, and intrigue. Not for Profit starts off slowly, but rapidly draws you in as you look for the what seems like a tenuous connection between Dr. James Scott, the terrorist cell, and a hospital administrator. ( )
