Great plot twists. Well drawn characters....couldn't put this book down. It's about 2 U.S. Marshalls assigned to find a missing inmate at "Shutter Island" which houses a hospital for the criminally insane. The Marshalls start suspecting some kind of plot involving psychosurgery as an experiment upon the inmates. Answers reveal themselves as the search goes on and the reader is left with as much as a mystery as the Marshalls themselves. The end result is a whopper! If looking for an excellent mystery/suspense thriller, this is it. I've never read Lehane before but he's now on my list of authors to read.
