Dennis Lehane Knihy

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...

But after pleas from the child's aunt, they open an investigation that will ultimately risk everything—their relationship, their sanity, and even their lives—to find a little girl-lost.

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).

But in a town that runs on corruption, vengeance and greed, success can't protect Joe from the dark truth of his past -- and ultimately, the wages of a lifetime of sin will finally be paid in full . . . Chilling, heart-breaking and gripping, this is the most complex and powerful novel to date from Dennis Lehane, writer on The Wire and author of modern classics such as Shutter Island, Gone, Baby, Gone and The Given Day.
