About the book

Billy Milligan was a man tormented by twenty-four distinct personalities battling for supremacy over his body - a battle that culminated when he awoke in jail, arrested for the kidnap and rape of three women. In a landmark trial, Billy was acquitted by reason of insanity caused by multiple personality disorder - the first such decision in history. Now, plunge into the mind of this tortured young man and his splintered, terrifying world.
