SHUTTER ISLAND - Dennis Lehane


This is the first book of Lehane's I have read and after finishing it, I will track down more.

The story has US Marshall Teddy Daniels and his partner travelling to a mental asylum situated on Shutter Island to assist with the re-capture of a missing patient.

They find that the patients are subject to drug experiments and experimental surgery and all is not what it seems.

I figured out what was happening half way through the book but it's that well written it does not detract from the tale.

It is genuinely creepy and keeps it up until the last page. Recommended

THE SECRET LIFE OF J.EDGAR HOOVER - Anthony Summers

  A man who abused his position like no other public servant in history.  A vile little man.
