The result is a book that provides the reader a language to reconcile this problem in terms that Catholics, Jews, and Atheists will understand and find comfort in. Following the tradition of his Jewish faith to wrestle with God, and grieving the death of a friend from the first novel, Kinderman is struggling to reconcile the concept of a loving God with a world where pain and evil seem to rule the day. Is this a copycat, or is something supernatural afoot? After the events of The Exorcist, Kinderman is no longer sure. Impossibly the murders mirror that of a long dead serial killer. Legion follows the Jewish detective Lieutenant Kinderman as he investigates a string of murders, beginning with the cruel crucifixion of a young boy. To my surprise, I enjoyed this even more than The Exorcist. Let me just say right off the bat that this book has the single best plot twist I have ever read.Ī sequel to Blatty’s famous The Exorcist, I was initially skeptical, thinking that this might be one of those sequels that the publisher pushed the author to write, rather than one that flowed naturally from the events of the first book.
