Twinkle, Twinkle, "Killer" Kane by William Peter Blatty
The novel follows the story of a military psychiatrist, Colonel Hudson Kane, who is assigned to a remote mental institution for military personnel. As he navigates the eccentricities and delusions of the patients, he becomes particularly intrigued by a man who believes he is Jesus Christ. As Kane delves deeper into the lives and minds of the patients, he confronts his own past and the haunting memories of his brother, who was a notorious war criminal. The narrative explores themes of redemption, faith, and the thin line between sanity and madness, culminating in a profound and unexpected revelation about Kane's own identity.
