The Knowing seriesbook 1 of 2Next:The Deceiving →

Ninie Hammon's The Knowing opens the first volume of a long saga about spiritual conflict that stretches across twenty-five years. Its opening scene is a school shooting in a quiet community. When a radio call sends Police Sergeant Jack Carpenter to Carlisle Elementary, he expects a simple job: locate the gunman and stop him. Inside the building, though, the reality he trusts begins to crack. Over the next three days he must reconsider what he believes about himself, about good and evil, and about how the universe works. Forces he had dismissed as nonsense turn out to be real, and one of them, a winged creature of pure malice, has set its sights on him. Told with a suspense-driven pace and a large cast of ordinary people, the novel asks what a person does when the world proves stranger and more dangerous than anyone admitted.
