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.
