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?
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 these crimes and another series of murders that took place twelve years ago—and supposedly ended with the death of the killer?
Legion 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.
The answers are revealed in a climax so stunning that it could only have been written by the author of The Exorcist—William Peter Blatty.

      Narrator Joe Hempel lends a gritty voice to Detective Kinderman as he examines a series of religiously themed killings. The murders appear to mimic the atrocities committed by the Gemini Killer, who had been presumed to be dead. In searching for the culprit, Hempel unveils many characters and stories as Kinderman investigates a mental institution with its own eerie secrets. Hempel's gruff portrayals give insight into the grisly origins of the Gemini Killer, along with the dark histories of the asylum staff and patients, although greater variation between characters would increase the realism of these moments for listeners. The story lags at times, but Hempel maintains the pacing, leaning into the detailed, macabre style of Blatty's storytelling. Fans of Blatty's blockbuster novel, THE EXORCIST, may wish to continue the series with this listen. K.S.B. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
