Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Shutter Island is a 2003 novel by Dennis Lehane.In 1954, US Marshal Teddy Daniels and his new partner Chuck Aule are assigned to investigate the disappearance of multiple murderess Rachel Solando, who is a patient at Shutter Island's Ashecliffe Hospital, a mental hospital for the most violent of the criminally insane. It is revealed that Andrew Laeddis, the man responsible for Daniels's wife's death, is incarcerated there as well.As the marshals investigate further, they begin to uncover hints that Ashecliffe Hospital may be home to a living nightmare of Nazi-esque experimentation on unwilling patients.But of course, all is not as it seems...Perhaps one of the most heavily symbolic novels/films in years, to the extent that it will screw with your mind HARD.Adapted into a movie in 2010.

All Germans Are Nazis: Teddy automatically assumes that the German doctor working in the asylum is some kind of Josef Mengele-like Mad Doctor, continuing his experiments on American soil. Teddy's paranoia about Germans turns out to have a comprehensible source — he was present at the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp. After the Allied soldiers saw what had been done to the prisoners, they put all the guards up against a wall and summarily executed them (an actual event).

Arc Number: In the story, 13 is claimed to be the harbinger of bad luck. As schizophrenics live in a state of fear, it's considered a significant number for them. Despite the buildup about tying into the illusions of schizophrenics, 13 is only used as the length of a few character's names.
