Bellevue

Bellevue Synopsis

A young doctor must come to terms with some of the greatest medical advances made in history. Dark truths are revealed in Bellevue, the gripping suspense-horror from New York Times bestselling author Robin Cook.

Twenty-four-year-old Michael 'Mitt' Fuller starts his surgical residency at the iconic Bellevue Hospital. With the pressure on, Mitt uses his secret sixth sense - a sensitivity to the nonphysical - to his advantage.

Between the fatigue, stress and nerves, the first few days and nights of his surgical residency are tough ones. Then his patients begin to die from mysterious causes. Mitt struggles to find the cause of the deaths, but things rapidly spiral out of control.

As bodies mount and Mitt's stress level rises, he finds himself drawn into the secrets of the abandoned Bellevue Psychopathic Hospital building - having defied demolition a few doors north of the modern Bellevue Hospital high-rise. Forcing an unauthorized entry into this storied but scary structure, Mitt discovers he's more closely tied to the sins of the past than he ever thought possible . . .
