📘 The Midwife Murders by James Patterson

Senior Midwife Lucy Ryuan has spent her life caring for expectant mothers in New York’s hospitals. When two patients go missing and a woman is violently stabbed in her care, the medical mystery deepens into a dangerous investigation. Lucy teams with a skeptical NYPD detective to sift through rumors that point to the Russian Mafia, an underground adoption network, and other shadowy forces. The case pulls her deeper into a thriller that tests her resolve and challenges every assumption about trust and danger within the city’s hospitals. As the killings mount, Lucy must navigate institutional secrecy and the personal risks of confronting powerful enemies. Her determination drives a tense narrative that blends hospital intrigue with a suspenseful hunt for the real perpetrator.
