«Shutter Island» is the mystery and suspense novel by Dennis Lehane, published by Rivages in paperback (300 pages, in French).
In the 1950s, two agents arrive at Shutter Island, a fortified psychiatric hospital near Boston where murderers with severe disorders are confined. They investigate the disappearance of Rachel Solando, who killed her three children, from a locked cell. They find only a cryptic note; appearances hide a disturbing truth.
