THE TRIAGE CODE

Sarah is the nurse everyone trusts. Warm, a little clumsy, the one who stays five minutes late just to listen—and still comes home every night to burn the garlic bread for her husband, David.

She is also the reason four men are dead.

It starts with one bruise she isn't supposed to notice, and one husband she quietly, irreversibly decides to stop. The first death is supposed to be the last. But after one woman is finally safe, saying no to the next becomes impossible. Soon Sarah is choosing which abusive men deserve a second chance—and which never get one.

David is the detective assigned to the case. He's good at his job, which is the problem: every clue circles back to a badge number, a shift schedule, a hospital credential—all belonging to his own wife.

Now David faces a choice no marriage prepares you for: the oath he swore, or the woman he's loved for ten years.

Some diagnoses you can't unmake.

A tense, character-driven psychological thriller about the seductive logic of vigilantism, the cost of unconditional love, and what happens when the person hunting a killer comes home to her every night.
