Publisher Description
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 . . .
The Knowledge of Good & Evil.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kleier's sometimes uneven, but undeniably gripping second spiritual thriller is bound to provoke just as many arguments as his controversial first novel, The Last Day (1998). Ex-priest Ian Baringer, who works as a paranormal investigator on the L.A. late-night talk show Probing the Paranormal, devises a plan to contact his late parents, who died in a horrific accident when he was a child, by putting himself into a near death experience, an experiment that psychologist Angela Weber, the talk show's host and Ian's lover, adamantly opposes. Ian and Angela race around the world just steps ahead of several members of a secret Christian organization, Ordo Arma Christi (the Order of the Weapon of Christ), who are trying to kill them before Ian can actually prove the existence of an afterlife. This is the first of a trilogy, and Kleier's many fans will only hope that they won't have to wait more than a decade again for the next installment.
Customer Reviews
Lengthy But Good
You've got to have an open mind to understand and enjoy this book. A bit too much descriptive "stuff" in the middle but I loved the ending!
Never Fails
A worthy follow up to The Last Day, an absolutely captivating read. I can only hope that the next book comes much much sooner.
Awsome
So far it's a great book. Might be the first book I finish in a loong time!
