Twinkle, Twinkle "Killer" Kane

From the New York Times–bestselling author of The Exorcist comes a dark comic novel about military madness.

After a nervous breakdown during a moon launch, astronaut Billy Cutshaw was committed to a military asylum and placed under the care of Colonel Hudson Kane. During their therapy sessions, Kane finds himself cross-examined about his beliefs on good and evil, forcing him to face the personal demons that have haunted him since his tour in Vietnam.

Twinkle, Twinkle, “Killer” Kane is the basis of William Peter Blatty's later expanded novel and the Golden Globe-nominated film adaptation, both titled The Ninth Configuration.
