In a masterful departure from the Boston-based hard-boiled mysteries he\'s known for, the \"New York Times\"-bestselling author of \"Mystic River\" offers an atmospheric psychological thriller set in a 1950s asylum for the criminally insane.
The basis for the blockbuster motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Shutter Island by New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane is a gripping and atmospheric psychological thriller where nothing is quite what it seems. The New York Times calls Shutter Island, \"Startlingly original.\" The Washington Post raves, \"Brilliantly conceived and executed.\" A masterwork of suspense and surprise from the author of Mystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone, Shutter Island carries the reader into a nightmare world of madness, mind control, and CIA Cold War paranoia and is unlike anything you\'ve ever read before.
