Teddy Daniels has come to Shutter Island for the truth. Pray for him. . . .
In 1954, U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels and his partner, Chuck Aule, are sent to Shutter Island to find a mass murderer who has escaped from Ashcliffe Hospital, a fortress-like federal institution for the criminally insane. But as their investigation deepens, the partners begin to suspect that they may actually have been summoned to this small island in Massachusetts's Outer Harbor to discover the true nature of Ashcliffe and its "treatments," rumored to include drug experimentation, hideous surgical trials, and lethal countermoves in the shadow war against the Soviets.
Following a trail of puzzling clues, Daniels and Aule realize they've stumbled into an evil puzzle. But the closer they get to the truth, the more elusive it becomes, and the more they begin to fear that someone is trying to drive them insane. As a deadly hurricane bears down on the island, the search begins to consume Daniels, taking him on a twisted journey, where paranoia assumes an air of cool rationality and the line between sanity and madness disappears. . . .
Filled with his trademark grit, insight, and compassion, Shutter Island is vintage Dennis Lehane-a riveting tale that brilliantly captures our capacity for depravity and deliverance.
