The Trials of Dr. Carol — Nell Marr Dean

The road to prison
Wound in one hairpin curve after another to prevent fast get-aways of possible escapees, but to Dr. Carol Colby the road kept her a prisoner too.

She had fought hard to establish herself as a woman surgeon, she had wanted to throw off her past and bury it in her career, but now she was assigned to work in a prison hospital and her partner, Dr. Foster, had other plans for her.
