Dr. Kate Bennett thought she understood the rhythms of emergency medicine until patients started dying in ways that defied explanation. The code blue alerts that should signal routine medical emergencies begin revealing a pattern that chills her. Someone is using the hospital's own systems against its most vulnerable patients. Kate finds herself caught between her duty to heal and her growing certainty that a killer walks the halls where she works. As bodies accumulate and evidence disappears, she realizes that speaking up could cost her career or her life. The people she trusted most may be the ones orchestrating the deaths. Kate must decide whether to stay silent and complicit or risk everything to expose a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of the medical establishment. Her choice will determine not only her own fate but the lives of countless patients who depend on a system that has been corrupted from within.
