New Mystery Prize Package Giveaway! To Know Evil by Stephen Gaspar

Mystery Book Contests

is thrilled to announce a new mystery book prize package giveaway! Stephen Gaspar is giving away a prize package including his medieval mystery To Know Evil, a CD of Gregorian chant, and more!

To Know Evil by Stephen Gaspar

In the year 999, on the eve of the millennium, a mysterious evil falls upon an isolated Benedictine monastery in the north of Italy. First one, then two more monks are found dead, apparently the victims of accidents. The abbot insists on ruling them as such, despite the arguments of Brother Thomas of Worms, a respected scholar, who prides himself on his learning and reason.

It is against the Rule to question the abbot’s authority, but Brother Thomas chafes against the Rule. He values knowledge too much. A discovery of an ancient Gnostic codex by his young protégé, Brother Nicholas, has made him question his very vows. An ancient Christian sect, the Gnostics were deemed heretical, for they proclaimed knowledge as the basis of faith. To a scholar like Thomas, this is a seductive idea, especiallly when the abbot refuses to allow him to investigate what he knows to be a series of murders.

The monastery conceals a greater secret that threatens to shake the very foundation of the Roman Catholic Church. But is the Judas codex somehow linked to the killings, and if so, how?

It has been said, “There is no sin but ignorance,” but Thomas learns there is a much greater evil in the heart of one of his fellow monks. As the millennium approaches and the monks brace themselves for the final confrontation between Darkness and Light, Thomas confronts the murderer and truly begins to know evil.

Enter daily! Provide your name and e-mail address on the To Know Evil giveaway entry form and correctly answer the contest question for a chance to win a prize package that includes a copy of To Know Evil, an official To Know Evil CD of Gregorian chant, a feather quill like the one used by the main character in the book, a reproduction of a page from an medieval manuscript, a Benedictine medal and cross, and bookmarkers, courtesy of author Stephen Gaspar. Estimated prize package value: $35.
