<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Orginally pubished: New York: Simon & Schuster, 1983.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From the author of <i>The Exorcist </i>-- <i>Legion</i>, a classic tale of horror, is back in print! <p/>A young boy is found horribly murdered in a mock crucifixion. Is the murderer the elderly woman who witnessed the crime? A neurologist who can no longer bear the pain life inflicts on its victims? A psychiatrist with a macabre sense of humor and a guilty secret? A mysterious mental patient, locked in silent isolation? <p/>Lieutenant Kinderman follows a bewildering trail that links all these people, confronting a new enigma at every turn even as more murders surface. Why does each victim suffer the same dreadful mutilations? Why are two of the victims priests? Is there a connection between <i>these</i> crimes and another series of murders that took place twelve years ago--and supposedly ended with the death of the killer? <p/><i>Legion</i> is a novel of breathtaking energy and suspense. But more than this, it is an extraordinary journey into the uncharted depths of the human mind and the most agonizing questions of the human condition. <p/>The answers are revealed in a climax so stunning that it could only have been written by the author of <i>The Exorcist</i>--William Peter Blatty.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Infinitely more suspenseful than <i>The Exorcist</i>. I devoured <i>Legion</i> in one terrified gulp. It even manages to outspook <i>The Exorcist</i>." --<i>Los Angeles Times</i> <p/>"Heartbeat-skipping horror. Read <i>Legion</i> only on a sunny day." --<i>Cosmopolitan</i> <p/>"Mesmerizing and horrifying at the same time." --<i>USA Today on Legion</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>William Peter Blatty (1928-2017)</b>, the writer of numerous novels and screenplays, is best known for his mega-bestselling novel <i>The Exorcist</i>, deemed by the <i>New York Times Book Review</i> to be as superior to most books of its kind as an Einstein equation is to an accountant's column of figures. An Academy Award winner for his screenplay for <i>The Exorcist</i>, Blatty is not only the author of one of the most terrifying novels ever written, but, paradoxically, also cowrote the screenplay for the hilarious Inspector Clouseau film, <i>A Shot in the Dark. New York Times</i> reviewers of his early comic novels noted, Nobody can write funnier lines than William Peter Blatty, describing him as a gifted virtuoso who writes like S. J. Perelman.
