<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The basis for the blockbuster motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, <em>Shutter Island </em>by <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author Dennis Lehane is a gripping and atmospheric psychological thriller where nothing is quite what it seems. The <em>New York Times </em>calls <em>Shutter Island</em>, "Startlingly original." The <em>Washington Post </em>raves, "Brilliantly conceived and executed." A masterwork of suspense and surprise from the author of <em>Mystic River </em>and <em>Gone, Baby, Gone, Shutter Island </em>carries the reader into a nightmare world of madness, mind control, and CIA Cold War paranoia and<em> </em>is unlike anything you've ever read before.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>The year is 1954. U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels and his new partner, Chuck Aule, have come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane, to investigate the disappearance of a patient. Multiple murderess Rachel Solando is loose somewhere on this remote and barren island, despite having been kept in a locked cell under constant surveillance. As a killer hurricane relentlessly bears down on them, a strange case takes on even darker, more sinister shades--with hints of radical experimentation, horrifying surgeries, and lethal countermoves made in the cause of a covert shadow war. No one is going to escape Shutter Island unscathed, because nothing at Ashecliffe Hospital is what it seems. But then neither is Teddy Daniels.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"There is no mystery...about how good this book is; like Mystic River, it's a tour de force."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"Combines the claustrophobia of . . .
