Code Blue

Frank Chandler didn't like the
people who'd hired him, or the job that they
wanted him to do. The smutty poison-pen letters
looked like penny-ante harassment of the
doctors and executives in a country-club
hospital, and they probably deserved it. It didn't
even smell like blackmail at first.

But something in the letters - or about them -
led a nice kid to commit suicide. And attracted
the interest of a hot-shot enforcer who had no
business on the rich side of the river. With a
guilty conscience looking over his shoulder and a
punk on his tail, Chandler makes the only choice he can live with - if he ever wants to look anyone in the eye again. CODE BLUE - in the spirit of Raymond Chandler and John D. MacDonald.
