| shutter island ebook: Coronado Dennis Lehane, 2009-10-13 Now available with a contemporary look, a must-have collection of riveting short stories from the New York Times bestselling author of Mystic River and Shutter Island. “Locations are vivid and crisp, characters are memorable and, most importantly, the story lines dig into you and leave their mark.” —Boston Herald When it comes to contemporary crime fiction there’s no territory quite as dangerous and unpredictable as that of New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane. These five short stories and a play are Lehane at his visceral best. In “Running Out of Dog,” a vet returning from Vietnam is asked to redirect the violent skills he learned overseas to deal with his hometown’s rampant population of strays. “ICU” follows a hunted man who finds refuge in the oddest place imaginable. Surprises await a gang of Texas high-school football jocks who lay siege to a luxury home in the suburbs in “Gone Down to Corpus.” And in “Mushrooms,” a simple theft triggers a series of murders that forces a disillusioned young girl to consider her next move. This collection also includes “Until Gwen” and its stage adaptation, Coronado, which expands on the trenchant tale of a morally bankrupt conman father, his ill-fated son, and the woman they have in common. In Lehane’s capable hands, each story faces unflinchingly the darkest depths of the human experience—sin and redemption, loss and longing, flesh and blood—delivering a knockout punch that’ll have readers reeling. |

An explosive tale of vengeance and redemption—the brilliant sequel to Gone, Baby, Gone—Moonlight Mile returns Lehane’s unforgettable and deeply human detective duo to the mean streets of blue collar Boston to investigate the second disappearance of Amanda McCready, now sixteen years old. After his remarkable success with Mystic River, Shutter Island, and The Given Day, the celebrated author whom the Washington Post praises as, “one of those brave new detective stylists who is not afraid of fooling around with the genre’s traditions,” returns to his roots—and the result, as always, is electrifying. |

Jimmy is an ex-con who owns a corner store. And Dave is trying to hold his marriage together and keep his demons at bay —demons that urge him to do terrible things. When Jimmy’s daughter is found murdered, Sean is assigned to the case. His investigation brings him into conflict with Jimmy, who finds his old criminal impulses tempt him to solve the crime with brutal justice. And then there is Dave, who came home the night Jimmy’s daughter died covered in someone else’s blood.

| shutter island ebook: Meet You in Hell Les Standiford, 2005-05-10 Two founding fathers of American industry. One desire to dominate business at any price. “Masterful . . . Standiford has a way of making the 1890s resonate with a twenty-first-century audience.”—USA Today “The narrative is as absorbing as that of any good novel—and as difficult to put down.”—Miami Herald The author of Last Train to Paradise tells the riveting story of Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and the bloody steelworkers’ strike that transformed their fabled partnership into a furious rivalry. Set against the backdrop of the Gilded Age, Meet You in Hell captures the majesty and danger of steel manufacturing, the rough-and-tumble of the business world, and the fraught relationship between “the world’s richest man” and the ruthless coke magnate to whom he entrusted his companies. The result is an extraordinary work of popular history.

The tale is deftly set out by Les Standiford.”—Wall Street Journal “Standiford tells the story with the skills of a novelist . . . a colloquial style that is mindful of William Manchester’s great The Glory and the Dream.”—Pittsburgh Tribune-Review “A muscular, enthralling read that takes you back to a time when two titans of industry clashed in a battle of wills and egos that had seismic ramifications not only for themselves but for anyone living in the United States, then and now.”—Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River |
| shutter island ebook: Storming Las Vegas John Huddy, 2009-04-28 On September 20, 1998, Jose Vigoa, a child of Fidel Castro’s revolution, launched what would be the most audacious and ruthless series of high-profile casino and armored car robberies that Las Vegas had ever seen. In a brazen sixteen-month reign of terror, he and his crew would hit the crème de la crème of Vegas hotels: the MGM, the Desert Inn, the New York—New York, the Mandalay Bay, and the Bellagio. The robberies were well planned and executed, and the police–“the stupids,” as Vigoa contemptuously referred to them–were all but helpless to stop them. But Lt. John Alamshaw, the twenty-three-year veteran in charge of robbery detectives, was not giving up so easily. For him, Vigoa’s rampage was a personal affront. And he would do whatever it took, even risk his badge, to bring Vigoa down. |

| shutter island ebook: Mental Health Care, Google eBook Catherine Hungerford, Donna Hodgson, Richard Clancy, Tony Jones, Anthony Harrison, Chris Hart, 2012-02-02 A text written for non-specialist mental health nursing courses and suitable for undergraduate students from nursing and other health disciplines which is supported by integrated online resources. This is an adaptation of a Wiley Blackwell title by Harrison & Hart (editors), Mental Health Care for Nurses, designed to meet the needs of undergraduate students. Mental Health Nursing is generally a core second year subject and may be taken by nurses, paramedics, occupational therapists and other health disciplines. The focus is not on the ‘general hospital', as many nurses and other health professionals in Australia will not necessarily be working in the hospital setting. It is important to consider the role of the ‘multidisciplinary team'. |
| shutter island ebook: Martin Scorseses "Shutter Island" Clotilde Bry-Chemarin, 2012-10-18 Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 2,0, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Institut für deutsche Philologie), Veranstaltung: Proseminar Körper und Seele, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Realität, Fiktion und Wahn - Wahrheit oder Lüge. Der schmale Grat zwischen diesen Aspekten wird in Martin Scorseses Film Shutter Island in einer überaus komplexen und vielschichtigen Handlung realisiert. Wie kann man eine fingierte Realität von einer realen Fiktion unterscheiden? Der schmale Grat zwischen diesen Themen liegt darin, dass in Shutter Island die Grenzen zwischen Realität, Fiktion, Wahn, Wahrheit oder gar Lüge gänzlich verschwimmen. Komplettiert wird diese Handlung durch den besonderen Kontext der Isolation, der sowohl in dem Kontext des Schauplatzes einer abgelegenen Insel als auch im Zusammenhang mit dem Seelenleben des Protagonisten verwirklicht wird. In der Romanverfilmung Shutter Island erhält der Zuschauer einen Einblick in das durch Traumata bestimmte Leben des alkoholkranken Protagonisten Teddy Daniels. Die Traumata des Protagonisten haben zweierlei Ursachen: die Erlebnisse aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und der Tod seiner Ehefrau Dolores. Der Film selbst lässt ich mehrere narrative Fragmente unterteilen, die erst am Ende puzzleartig zur Biografie des Protagonisten zusammengefügt werden und somit ein Gesamtkonstrukt ergeben. So gibt es einerseits das erlebte Jetzt des Protagonisten, dessen Vergangenheit sowie andererseits die Geschichte der Nebenfiguren, u.a. die der flüchtigen Patientin Rachel Solando aus der Klinik. In den folgenden Ausführungen soll die narrative Komplexität des Films durch die Analyse nachstehender Themen behandelt werden: die Verbindung von Erzählen durch den Körper im Film, der Wahn als ein körperliches und seelisches Phänomen sowie das Wiedererleben von Vergangenem in umgestalteter Form. Zu diesem Zwecke werde ich auf bestimmte Sequenzen eingehen, die eine Fokussierung auf den Körper aufweisen, um ferner ausgesuchte Aspekte der filmischen Ich-Perspektive zu analysieren. Im weiteren Verlauf werden für eine möglichst differenzierte Untersuchung des Films auf die Fragmentierung der Geschichte, die wechselnde Erzählperspektive und die Irreführung des Zuschauers eingegangen. Hierbei werde ich mich auf bestimmte Elemente beschränken müssen, da eine Untersuchung eines jeden einzelnen Fragments den Rahmen dieser Arbeit bei Weitem sprengen würde. Abschließend werde ich mich intensiver mit ausgewählten psychologischen und medizinischen Gesichtspunkten der psychotischen Symptomatik, und die Frage, wie diese im Film wiedergegeben wird, auseinandersetzen. |
