Code Pink

By Marilyn Mets

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. Eleanor's 1850s world of bloodletting, leeches, and early surgical theaters becomes both a balm and a guide for Joan, illuminating a path forward in her own fight for justice.

A genre-bending blend of medical mystery, historical fiction, and feminist grit, CODE PINK is a pulse-pounding debut about two trailblazing women, one urgent mystery, and the timeless cost of speaking truth to power-inside and outside the operating room.
