In Legion, William Peter Blatty goes off into a lot of philosophical/theological tangents. As much as it gives the reader a lot to ponder over, this is one incidence where I prefer the movie adaptation of Legion (The Exorcist III). As much as it does link into the religious themes like the first Exorcist novel does, it really doesn’t feel like a direct spiritual successor. Think more murder mystery than demonic possession.
The ending is a decent twist and was definitely the best part of the story to me.

Lieutenant Kinderman is on the hunt to find the killer of a young boy who was found horrifically murdered in a mock-crucifixion. He is trying to link it to other crimes that have been committed and finds out how all the suspects also link together along the way.
There is an elderly woman who witnessed the murder, a neurologist who can no longer bare the pain of life, a psychiatrist with a macabre sense of humour and a guilty secret, or a mysterious mental patient who is locked in isolation - could any of these people be behind the gruesome killings? Why does each victim suffer the same dreadful mutilations? Is there a reason that two of the victims are priests? So many unanswered questions as the race is on the find out who is behind these deaths�
