Even though I had already seen the movie based on this book, it was well written enough to keep me reading to the end. The main characters- Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule, are two federal marshals sent on a mission to a facility for the criminally insane. The story unfolds around their trip to the island on which the facility is located and their search for a missing patient and the truth. There are many twists and turns in the story, all wonderfully described by Mr. Lehane and you find yourself guessing to the very end. Good read!!
