 Moving out from the working-class Boston neighborhoods where his hard-boiled private eyes and blue-collar cops normally conduct their realistic business, Dennis Lehane takes a leap into unknown genre territory in SHUTTER ISLAND (Morrow, $25.95). But whichever genre he's aiming for in this misguided effort -- psychological suspense, cold war thriller or Grand Guignol melodrama -- he misses it by a nautical mile.  The primary force of this book comes from Teddy's grief and his anguished memories of World War II, when he helped liberate inmates at Dachau. ... But its hidden power has a different source: Mr. Lehane's insight into his book's most disturbed figures. Suffice it to say that this is a deft, suspenseful thriller that unfolds with increasing urgency until it delivers a visceral shock in its final moments. When it comes to keeping readers exactly where he wants them, Mr. Lehane offers a bravura demonstration of how it's done. Verano de 1954. El agente federal Teddy Daniels llega a Shutter Island, isla en la que está ubicado el hospital Ashecliffe, un centro penitenciario para enfermos mentales. Junto con su compañero, Chuck Aule, se propone encontrar a una paciente desaparecida, una asesina llamada Rachel Solando, a medida que un huracán azota la isla. No obstante, nada es lo que parece en el hospital Ashecliffe. Y Teddy Daniels tampoco.¿Ha ido hasta allí para encontrar a una paciente desaparecida? ¿O le han enviado para investigar los rumores acerca de los radicales métodos psiquiátricos que se utilizan en esa institución? Unos métodos que posiblemente incluyan la experimentación con drogas, pruebas quirúrgicas terribles, contraataques mortales en la guerra encubierta en contra de los lavados de cerebro soviéticos... Lehane takes a departure form his regular series and takes us to Shutter Island. This is a book that stretched both the author and the reader. Lehane called his book, homage to gothic, but also homage to B Movies and Pulp!" Teddy is on Shutter Island to find a missing mental patient. As you travel with Teddy the story becomes more and more about Teddy than about the missing mental patient. The job of the reader is to decide what is real and what is make-believe as you travel with the main character Teddy. You hear the whispering echoes of the past as you find more and more clues. All illusions of control and all surefooted terrain ware away as you get deeper and deeper into the twists of the story. The context of the book has been written once, and then written completely anew, and then twisted once again the third go around of writing this twisted tale. The story line however stays constant and helps one misunderstand the novel. You will read yourself to a knotted rope, for the author has left enough chords to twist around your neck and hang yourself by. Breathing becomes something you need to remind yourself to do as you get caught up in the current of Shutter Island. The story looks at mental health treatments of the past compared to what methods are used today. Lehane asks his readers, "What is the fine line between treatment and sterilization of the mind?

Shutter Island est#65533; cerca de Boston. Es una peque#65533;a isla en la que tan s#65533;lo destaca el Hospital Ashecliffe, un centro penitenciario para enfermos mentales. El agente federal Teddy Daniels y su compa#65533;ero, Chuck Aule, acaban de desembarcar. Un peligroso asesino se ha escapado pese a las f#65533;rreas medidas de seguridad. No podr#65533; salir de la diminuta isla, as#65533; que Daniels tan s#65533;lo mira el reloj. Una rutina m#65533;s. Dennis Lehane comienza as#65533; una novela imposible de olvidar, impredecible, que nos condenar#65533; a leer obsesivamente, con los lavados de cerebro de la guerra fr#65533;a de fondo. Pero, ante todo, Lehane nos condena a correr y no mirar atr#65533;s, como hace Teddy Daniels, una vez deduce que la #65533;nica y simple raz#65533;n de que haya sido destinado a Shutter Island es: que no vuelva a salir. Pero #65533;por qu#65533; a #65533;l? Daniels ha tardado en darse cuenta de que en esta isla maldita nada es lo que parece, todo el mundo tiene miedo y los enfermos no son m#65533;s que cobayas humanas. #65533;Qui#65533;n quiere experimentar con #65533;l? #65533;Acaso quieren que se vuelva loco? #65533;O es que ya lo est#65533;? Una isla, un hombre solo; la caza ha comenzado y la presa se llama Teddy Daniels. La novela que Martin Scorsese ha elegido como giu#65533;n para su nueva pel#65533;cula, con Leonardo DiCaprio como Teddy Daniels.
