Description
It is said that the greatest chess grandmasters envision a match’s outcome ten moves before it occurs. Imagine a person who could visualize ten steps ahead not only in the game of chess but in every human interaction.
Imagine a person who could see a punch before it was thrown, who could anticipate what you say before you said it. Imagine a person who could see the chess game of politics, economics, and power itself unfold long before it happens.
Imagine a secret that could make all of this possible.
Mathematics professor Albert Puddles is such a person, and as he is thrust into a murder and burglary investigation on the Princeton campus he finds that there is such a secret. The discovery leads Albert to team up with an aging mentor, a curious graduate assistant, and an unusual “book club” on a frantic chase across the country to recover the book’s secret and clear his name.
Through this adventure, Albert rediscovers a woman from his past and is forced to confront his own understanding of love, rationality, power, and the limits of the human mind.

A Booklist Editor's Pick
“The Tree of Knowledge is a dynamite read… reminiscent of Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code but smarter, sharper and vertiginously twisted. A thrill ride with no seatbelt but what an incredible view.” – Junot Díaz, New York Times Bestselling Author and Winner of the Pulitzer Prize
"Filled with fascinating characters, breathtaking action, political intrigue, interesting riddles, and loads of information about cryptology, this novel grabs one's interest from page one. Miller is a gifted writer who manages to strike a good pace with this mesmerizing thriller... Even the minor characters are strong enough to grab the reader's imagination. With its numerous plot twists, nothing in this work is predictable...This novel is a wonderful read that should please anyone in search of a well-told, intriguing story." -US Review of Books
[A] quirky and engaging debut thriller...[T]he novel teems with historical, scientific, and literary surprises: Miller slips in fun facts about ciphers from ancient Rome to the Civil War and also connects the Tree of Knowledge system with the biblical tree of knowledge...good-natured twists come again and again. With offbeat characters, brain teasers, and imaginative action, readers will be eager to see what trouble [these characters] get into next.--Publisher's Weekly BookLife
