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.
