Summary
From the bestselling author and "master of the medical
thriller" (The New York Times), Robin Cook, comes a new tale
of suspense-horror about a first-year resident whose
life-shattering visions reveal the truth behind some of the
greatest medical advances in the history of medicine. Twenty-three-year-old Michael “Mitt” Fuller
starts his surgical residency with great anticipation at the
nearly three-hundred-year-old, iconic Bellevue Hospital,
following in the footsteps of four previous, celebrated
Fuller generations. The pressure is on for this newly minted
doctor, and to his advantage he’s always had a secret
sixth sense, a sensitivity to the nonphysical. But quickly
one patient after another assigned to his care begin to die
from mysterious causes. As he tries to juggle these
inexplicable deaths with the demands of being a first-year
resident, things rapidly spiral out of control. Visions begin to plague Mitt—visions of a little
girl in a bloodstained dress, bloodcurdling screams in the
distance, and worse. As bodies mount and Mitt’s stress
level rises, he finds himself drawn to the monumental,
abandoned Bellevue Psychopathic Hospital building, which to
his astonishment has somehow defied the wrecking-ball and
still stands a few doors north of the modern Bellevue
Hospital high-rise. Forcing an unauthorized entry into this
storied but foreboding structure, Mitt discovers he’s
more closely tied to the sins of the past than he ever
thought possible.
