" Dennis Lehane is a New York Times best-selling author who won a Shamus Award for his first novel. In Shutter Island, he weaves a dark and terrifying story of deception, manipulation, and murder. Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane looms like a fortress on Shutter Island. As a hurricane swirls toward the hospital, a U.S. marshal arrives to track down an escaped patient--a murderess who may hold the key to what really goes on in the locked wards and operating rooms" -- from publisher's web site.

I wish I read this before seeing the movie.

I've read a few of this author's books and enjoyed them all, but I found Shutter Island to be the most suspenseful and poignant, even having seen the movie previously. I wish I'd been able to read it without knowing the ending (and without seeing DiCaprio's face the whole time), might have been a totally different experience.
