Shutter Island Tie-In - Tapa blanda

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. TheNew York Times calls Shutter Island, “Startlingly original.” TheWashington Post raves, “Brilliantly conceived and executed.” A masterwork of suspense and surprise from the author ofMystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone, Shutter Islandcarries the reader into a nightmare world of madness, mind control, and CIA Cold War paranoia andis unlike anything you’ve ever read before.

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 barren island, despite having been kept in a locked cell under constant surveillance. As a killer hurricane bears relentlessly 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 remotely what it seems.
