Teddy and Chuck arrive at Ashecliffe Hospital and begin their investigation. The storm will hit the island within hours of their arrival, and it will ultimately trap them there for the next four days. To make the situation more difficult, a tropical storm is rolling in. Teddy explains that Ashecliffe is a federal hospital reserved for the criminally insane, and all the patients are both mentally ill and dangerous. Teddy briefs Chuck on their case as they make their way to the island. Chuck is likable and charming, and they immediately establish a rapport. Teddy finds himself in the company of his new partner, Chuck Aule, a recent transfer from the Seattle bureau of the U.S. Marshal, who is sent to Shutter Island to investigate the disappearance of Rachel Solando, one of Ashecliffe’s patients. The story itself follows Teddy Daniels, a World War II veteran and current U.S. The events of Shutter Island take place over the course of four days in September 1954, and the novel is divided into four sections that reflect the events of each day.
