Truman Memorial Veterans' Hospital. Patients who should have gone home were never making it out. And in Ward 4 East, the loudspeakers kept crackling with an announcement that told the staff someone was about to die: Code Blue.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen staff raised concerns, administrators found a suspect--a nurse. They acted quickly. But they didn't call the police. Instead, they went after the people trying to tell the truth. The nurse moved on to new jobs, and death followed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCode Blue\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of serial killings in a college town, the cover-up, and the devastating ripple effects of a crime that went unpunished. It is a story of grieving families, courtroom battles, law enforcement agencies that fumbled the case, and whistleblowers who should have been heroes but were treated like criminals. And at the center of it all, the hospital pathologist who started the investigation and asked his son to finish it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor the first time in thirty years, Jake Adelstein--the bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eTokyo Vice\u003c\/em\u003e--returns to his hometown of Columbia, Missouri.
