Leto 1954. Federálny maršal Teddy Daniels prichádza na ostrov Shutter, do sídla nemocnice Ashecliffe, kde liečia duševne chorých zločincov. Spolu s partnerom Chuckom Aulem začína hľadať utečenca, vrahyňu Rachel Solandovú. Práve vtedy na ostrov dorazí hurikán. Lenže v nemocnici Ashecliffe nič nie je také, aké sa na prvý pohľad zdá. A rovnako to platí aj o Teddym Danielsovi. Prišiel, aby našiel pacientku, ktorá záhadne zmizla? Alebo ho sem vyslali, aby preveril tajomné chýry, že v Ashecliffe používajú priveľmi radikálnu psychiatrickú liečbu? Len čo sa vyšetrovanie prehĺbi, otázky pribúdajú. Ako mohla bosá žena ujsť z ostrova? Navyše zo zamknutej izby? Kto im zanecháva stopy v podobe kódov, ktoré treba vylúštiť? A čo sa v skutočnosti deje na Oddelení C? Čím väčšmi sa Teddy s Chuckom približujú k pravde, tým sa stáva prchavejšou a tým väčšmi začínajú byť presvedčení, že sa im možno nepodarí dostať sa z ostrova Shutter. Pretože ktosi sa pokúša dohnať ich k šialenstvu...

Kenzie and Gennaro have been hired to find four-year-old Amanda McCready, abducted from her home without leaving a trace. Despite extensive news coverage and dogged investigation, the police inquiry has so far uncovered nothing. The case is rife with oddities: Amanda's strangely indifferent mother and her dangerous, drug-addled friends; her loving aunt and uncle; and two cops who have found so many abused or dead children they may already be over the edge. As the Indian summer fades, Amanda McCready stays gone - banished so completely that she seems never to have existed. And when a second child disappears, Kenzie and Gennaro face a local media more interested in sensationalizing the abductions than helping to solve them, a police force seething with lethal secrets, and a faceless power determined to obstruct their efforts. Caught in a deadly tangle of lies and betrayal, they must confront the horror of what the world can inflict on its children in order to unravel a riddle that's anything but child's play.

Boston private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro try to protect the son of a prominent psychiatrist in the midst of an ever-growing body count and a list of clues that point impossibly to a serial killer who has been in prison for twenty years.

From New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane comes this epic, unflinching tale of the making and unmaking of a gangster in the Prohibition Era of the Roaring Twenties—now a Warner Bros. movie starring Ben Affleck, Elle Fanning, Zoe Saldana, and Sienna Miller. Meticulously researched and artfully told, Live by Night is the riveting story of one man’s rise from Boston petty thief to the Gulf Coast’s most successful rum runner, and it proves again that the accolades New York Times bestseller Lehane consistently receives are well deserved. He is indeed, “a master” (Philadelphia Inquirer) whose “true literary forefathers include John Steinbeck as well as Raymond Chandler” (Baltimore Sun). And, “Boy, does he know how to write” (Elmore Leonard).
