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, βStartlingly original.β The Washington Post raves, βBrilliantly conceived and executed.β 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 youβve ever read before.
Dennis Lehane is the author of thirteen novelsβincluding the New York Times bestsellers Live by Night; Moonlight Mile; Gone, Baby, Gone; Mystic River; Shutter Island; and The Given Dayβas well as Coronado, a collection of short stories and a play. He grew up in Boston, MA and now lives in California with his family.
