About this ebook
In Glenn Kleier's thrilling and sophisticated adventure, a defrocked priest embarks on an epic odyssey through the afterlife in search of answers to life's Ultimate Question.
On December 4, 1968, world-famous theologian Father Louis Merton visited the ancient Dead City of Polonnaruwa, Ceylon, entered the Cave of the Spirits of Knowledge, and experienced a vision. It's claimed he found a backdoor to the Afterlife, that he looked into the Mind of God and escaped with a secret so powerful it could change all humanity...bring wars to a standstill...end forever the age-old hatreds between races, creeds and cultures.
Six days later as Merton prepared to announce his discovery at a religious conference, he suffered a horrific death under mysterious circumstances. But the secret did not die with him. Merton left behind a journal...
Years later, beautiful psychologist Angela Weber and her troubled fiancé, Ian Baringer, are on the hunt for Merton's long-lost journal and its door to the Afterlife. Angela, an agnostic, wants to help Ian heal the wounds of a traumatic childhood plane crash that took the lives of his parents. Ian, a defrocked priest, no longer trusts in religion's promise of eternal life. He must know for certain if he will ever see his parents again, and is driven to find out firsthand what lies beyond, and what it holds for mankind.
Together, Angela and Ian plunge headlong into a global chase, pursued by a shadowy cult, dead bodies and destruction in their wake. If Ian and Angela succeed, they will defy the gates of heaven and hell to learn a secret hidden from the world since the dawn of time . . .

(Refers to mass market paperback edition) Until now, my favorite book was Kleier's stunning first novel, THE LAST DAY. I never thought he could surpassed that classic, but I was happily wrong. THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL is one of the most thrilling stories I've read. The last 100 pages are truly the most gripping i have EVER read. Nothing could pry the book from my hands till I finished, and I could not second guess the ending up to the very last word (a fact!). Some people will take great offense at this book because it gores some sacred oxes. But if you have a taste for sacralege, you must get this book. Whatever your beliefs, you will not walk away thinking the same way about what may or may not exist on the other side.
