About the author
Judith Lucci
63 books426 followersDr. Judith Lucci is an Amazon bestselling author who writes what she knows. She is the author of the Alex Destephano Medical Thriller Series and the soon to be released Michaela McPherson, Private Eye, a series centered on a retired homicide detective from Richmond, Virginia who really can’t retire.
“Before I wrote fiction, I was an academic writer who published research, theoretical works, text books and just about anything a nurse or college professor needed to publish to survive. The differences in academic writing and writing fiction are dramatic. Writing what I know propels me to pull from my clinical experiences, some good, some not and use popular fiction as a means to teach and advocate for others. My books have three purposes, to engage the reader, to entertain them and to educate about healthcare and perhaps, the darker side of hospital life.
I am a nurse and hold graduate and doctoral degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Virginia. I have always been a reader and a writer and I love it. I am a member of the Virginia Writers Club, The Shenandoah Valley Writers and Sisters in Crime.
When I’m not writing I am probably teaching, paining on silk as I am a multi-media artist or playing with my many dogs. Please feel free to contact me at judithlucciwrites@gmail.com. I am excited about meeting you!

What a breathtaking thriller. Sonia Amon, retired battlefield surgeon, Army Major and CIA operative, goes from peacefully living in Washington DC and practicing at Walter Reed, to being appointed as personal physician to the President of the United States. First, though, the CIA asks her to fly to Syria to train army field physicians in the Syrian language and culture. But danger awaits. The duplicitous actions of Sonia’s father, the Emir, and her half-sister Ester put Sonia and her CIA lover, Trey, in danger, and they are taken prisoner as a plot unfolds to undermine the U.S. government.
This is a terrific thriller that works on every level. The action is unpredictable, the characters are wonderful, and it reads brilliantly as a standalone though this is the sixth in the series. You won’t be able to put this book down. Well done, 5 stars!!

‘Identity Proof’ by Judith Lucci is the sixth book in the Dr. Sonia Amon series, but it can be read as a standalone novel as the reader is given enough context to appreciate how all the characters relate to one another. Amon is an ex battlefield surgeon, retired Army Major, and sometime CIA operative. Her father, a thoroughly dislikable monster known as the Emir, wants to kill her, and will get his chance when she returns to her native Syria on a medical teaching mission. However, she realizes her flight there is also conveying a special passenger, one whose presence complicates matters infinitely. So begins the latest in the author’s Amon stories. It starts a little slow but soon develops a fast pace that carries the reader until the end.
The characters, especially the protagonist and her evil sister, are expertly drawn, having depth and credibility. The storyline is relatively simple yet sufficient to support the critical scenes as the tale unfolds.
A solid, entertaining read from Judith Lucci.

DR. AMON IS BACK WITH A POTUS
1st in the previous book Sonia and Trey were married and in this book they're only lovers? 2nd, the cover, hey it's a mature woman and is portrays as a twenty something...
The characters are good and the story a little weak, still a good book.

Another breathtaking adventure…
NO SPOILERS. This series has offered one thrill ride after another and this latest installment is no exception. I really enjoy how the author has been able to come up with so many action-packed harrowing escapades but still manages to keep the characters human. Sonia, the focus of this series, has lived through more than any one person should ever have to endure and we, the readers, get to go with her on her journeys from the comfort of our favorite chair. In this adventure, Sonia is, once again, back in Syria to train new doctors in field medicine techniques before assuming the responsibilities of her new post but, as usual, nothing goes as planned. The actions of Sonia’s father, the Emir, and her half-sister, Ester, put Sonia and her romantic partner, Trey, in grave peril. Can they escape this hostile land? Can they avert a nuclear incident? Will they be able to foil a plot to undermine the U.S. government at its highest level? I truly enjoyed this exciting story and I love that the characters in the series grow, evolve, and reflect as their lives are touched by events beyond their control. Well done!

Another excellent story! Sonia is so resilient! I love these characters and feel like we could be friends. Sonia is very strong, yet relatable and vulnerable at the same time. You must read this book!
