Code Pink - Marilyn Mets

Résumé :
Two lady doctors A century apart And one missing baby. CODE PINK - Emergency in the nursery. A baby is gone. In a 1980s Chicago hospital, third-year med student Joan Turner's first pediatric rotation goes from high-stress to high-stakes when a newborn vanishes under her watch. The overhead hospital alert, Code Pink, launches her into a tangled investigation involving a baby-smuggling ring preying on the city's most vulnerable mothers. As Joan juggles grueling shifts, looming exams, and the chilling sense she's being followed, comfort comes from an unlikely place: the past. Her great-great-great-aunt Eleanor, one of America's first female physicians, reaches across the decades through a series of vivid dream-visions and long-lost letters.
