The Ninth Configuration
by William Peter Blatty· 2010
In an experimental government center for troubled Vietnam veterans, the inmates run the asylum. One works on an adaptation of Shakespeare for dogs. Another fancies himself a caped superhero. Still others masquerade as frogmen, nurses, nuns, pirates, and doctors. Yet Colonel Vincent Kane, the psychiatrist in charge, eyes all with a stoic reserve. Maybe too stoic: there is a mystery here, and its final resolution is like a thunderclap.
