Sinopse

Mr. Kesselbach stopped short on the threshold of the sitting–room, took his secretary's arm and, in an anxious voice, whispered:
"Chapman, some one has been here again."
"Surely not, sir," protested the secretary. "You have just opened the hall–door yourself; and the key never left your pocket while we were lunching in the restaurant."
"Chapman, some one has been here again," Mr. Kesselbach repeated. He pointed to a traveling–bag on the mantelpiece. "Look, I can prove it. That bag was shut. It is now open."
Chapman protested.
"Are you quite sure that you shut it, sir? Besides, the bag contains nothing but odds and ends of no value, articles of dress. . . ."

Code Blue

Fern Michaels

The newest action-packed, ripped-from-the-headlines adventure in The Sisterhood from #1 bestselling author Fern Michaels.
The Sisterhood: a group of women from all walks of life bound by friendship and years of adventure. Armed with vast resources, top-notch expertise, and a loyal network of allies around the globe, the Sisterhood will not rest until every wrong is made right.
Theresa Gallagher has never met her Aunt Dottie, though she remembers her mother’s stories about the wild sister who left home at seventeen. When a letter arrives from one of Dottie’s neighbors, telling Theresa that her aunt is now incapacitated and in a nursing home, Theresa decides to fly out to Arizona to see her.
The staff at the Sunnydale Care Facility seem pleasant and efficient, but Theresa finds it strange that she’s only permitted to “observe” her elderly aunt from a viewing room. It’s the first of several red flags that lead Theresa to start asking questions. Is it just coincidence that as soon as she does, her car is almost run off the road?
Theresa contacts her attorney friend, Lizzie Fox, who just happens to be connected to a group of women uniquely posed to get answers. Soon the Sisterhood is on the case, uncovering evidence that at Sunnydale centers all over the country, seniors are mistreated, duped, and drained of their savings. But no one is beyond justice—not when the Sisterhood’s extraordinary women are involved, making wrongs right as only they can …
