Sorceress of psychological suspense, Ninie Hammon, brings you the first book in The Knowing Saga, a sprawling tale of spiritual warfare that spans a quarter of a century. If you crave sleep-with-the-lights-on suspense coupled with characters so true they'll feel like family, The Knowing will open a world you won't want to believe is real. But it is . It starts with a school shooting... It ends with the return of an evil as ancient as the bones of the universe. When the hot call comes over the “Code Red! Active shooter at Carlisle Elementary School,” Police Sergeant Jack Carpenter has only one find the gunman; take him out. Carpenter rushes into the school, fully armed and focused on cold, hard reality. But what happens to him there shatters the world as he knew it. And in the next three days, everything Jack Carpenter believes about himself, about reality, about good and evil and the whole nature of the universe will be challenged. Can it possibly be true—seriously?—that invisible demons prowl among us? That a winged creature more horrifying than any Hollywood-animated, computer-generated, mechanical unreality, exist? And that the single-minded mission of the beast—a creation of absolute, soul-less evil—is to kill Jack Carpenter? That’s crazy! Fairy-tale-science-fiction-horror-movie-bogeyman crap! Bottom it flat-out cannot possibly be true. But it is. Award-winning journalist and suspense author Ninie Hammon has created a terrifyingly real world where the people fighting to defeat invisible monsters from the bowels of hell are folks you might bump carts with in the grocery store. People so ordinary, in fact, that when the unexplainable rips apart their lives, when demons destroy their reputations and attack their children, you begin to wonder if the same thing could happen to you, too. ★★★★★ "The story arc grabbed a hold of me and did not let go till the end. Well, actually, it has not let go 'cause I am ready to pick up the next book and pick up where this one left off." — Leah SP ★★★★★ "It's good vs. evil in the vein of Stephen King's The Stand. People are doing their normal thing - good, bad or indifferent - and all of a sudden it goes sideways. There were characters I cheered for, cried for, held my breath for - and some I was trying to think up ways to help get rid of." — Renee Alice ★★★★★ "The book itself is kind of a cross between King's "It" and his "The Stand" but with Ninie's special touch. She has a way of drawing the reader into her world, making them a part of the story. She makes you feel as though you really know the people she creates. They come alive on the page for me with a reality that few authors can match...and yes, I'm including the "Main-Stream/New York Times Best Seller Author List"!" — The Old Guy ★★★★★ "This book is as good or better than many of Stephen King's books. Ms Hammon has excelled with a dark supernatural story, that grows in intensity from the first page and is wrapped up by the last page. " — Kotuku ★★★★★ "The Knowing" currently resides in the Top Ten in the last ten years I have read right alongside such books as "Unbroken" and "The Jakarta Pandemic". This book is one I have already strongly suggested my closest friends queue for their next read or… stop the boring book they are currently reading and replace it immediately with "The Knowing"! — Dr. Thomas C. Mohler If you enjoy a fast-paced, suspense-filled story so gripping you’ll decide the dirty dishes aren't going anywhere and the car will survive one more day without an oil change, The Knowing is the book for you.

The monster demon is BACK! ...and he’s had twenty-six years to plot his revenge. More horrifying than any Hollywood-animated, computer-generated, mechanical unreality, the winged demon called an efreet will do anything to get what he wants. Pronounce that: An-y-thing Defeated in 1985 by three twelve-year-olds, the monster returns determined to kill them. In The Knowing, the first book of the trilogy, he sends five demon-possessed men to murder Jack Carpenter, Becca Hawkins and Daniel Burke—the now-adult twelve-year olds whose memories of that childhood summer when they battled a monster have been erased. Against all odds, the three escape and survive—only to discover that the man possessed by the efreet has been nominated to fill a vacancy on the United States Supreme Court. In The Deceiving, the second book of The Knowing trilogy, the efreet has changed his tactics. He’s not trying to kill the three who defeated him anymore. In “less time than it takes to cook a pot roast” he totally devastates their lives instead—as payback, and to keep them too busy to oppose his court nomination. And the monster has other plans, too, unspeakable plans, uglier than any of them could possibly imagine. In parallel storylines, the three twelve-year-olds battle the efreet during the summer of 1985 and their adult counterparts fight to keep a demon-possessed man from sitting on the highest court of the land in 2011. The Deceiving is a heart-racing, page-turning paranormal suspense novel about ordinary people who don’t want to believe that angels and demons, monsters from hell, walk the earth among us every day. But they have no choice—because it’s true. If you enjoy a hard-hitting story with themes that will challenge what you believe about yourself, about life and reality, about good and evil and the whole nature of the universe, this book is for you. Interview with the Author Q - What makes The Deceiving a special? A - It carries on the story of the characters readers adopted into their families in The Knowing: Book One. Not James Bond types who fight off six armed attackers at once without breaking a sweat, who never seem to run out of bullets or have a bad hair day. They're normal people who just want to live their ordinary lives in peace. But they can't. They've seen the invisible monsters that walk among us. And once you've seen ... As Theresa Washington says, "You can't un-know the truth. Once you know it, you're responsible for doin' somethin' about it." Q - Why did you write a series? A - Because the story was too big for 1 book. Even for 2. Writing a series gave me the chance to tell a sprawling tale of supernatural spiritual warfare and dark psychic suspense that spans a quarter of a century. A story peopled with folks you could bump carts with in a small town grocery store—so when the unexplainable starts to happen to them, you realize the same thing could happen to you, too. Q - Why should readers give this book a try? A - Because it’s a paranormal thriller that will sweep you up into the reality of a world you never dreamed existed, a reality so gripping you’ll decide the dirty dishes aren't going anywhere and the car will survive one more day without an oil change. Might not want to start this book at bedtime. Just sayin'...

Ordinary people. A demon from hell. The final showdown. In the summer of 1985, Daniel Burke, Becca Hawkins and Jack Carpenter confronted a demon prince, an efreet, and somehow drove it back to hell. They were twelve years old. Twenty-six years later, the efreet returns and sends superhuman assassins to kill the now-adult “Three Muskateers” before they can challenge him again. Reconnecting for the first time in a quarter of a century, the childhood friends piece together fragmentary memories of that long-ago summer as they fight desperately to stay alive—and to stop the voracious quest for power of the man possessed by the efreet, Chapman Whitworth, Now comes the final confrontation. The only thing that stands between Whitworth and the presidency of the United States is a rag-tag group of ordinary people—Daniel, Becca, Jack and their friends. This time, they have to go after the demon, not the man—and it doesn’t matter that none of them remembers how they defeated it the first time. They have to find the monster—hidden in a labyrinth of dark caves protected by legions of poisonous spiders and snakes. And they have to stand together against it. If any one of them breaks, they all will die. It has come down to this—one last chance. It’s time for the reckoning. The Knowing began the tale. The Deceiving continued it. Now, The Reckoning brings the story to a heart-pounding conclusion with a riveting account of the final battle against an evil as old as the skeleton of the universe. If you like fast-paced action, gut-tying suspense and themes that will challenge everything you believe about yourself, about life and reality, about good and evil and the whole nature of the universe—The Reckoning is the book for you.
