Items related to The Boy Who Saw (Solomon Creed)
Solomon Creed, the enigmatic hero introduced in The Searcher, must stop a killer tied to a conspiracy stretching back over generations to the dying days of World War II.
Solomon Creed has no recollection of who he is, or where he comes from. The only solid clue to his identity is a label stitched in his jacket that reads: "This suit was made to treasure for Mr. Solomon Creed."
The jacket fits perfectly, and so does the name, but there is a second name on the label, the name of the tailor who made the suit and an address in southern France. Solomon heads to France in search of this man, hoping to discover more about who he is. But instead of answers he finds a bloody corpse, the Star of David carved into his chest and the words "Finishing what was begun" daubed in blood on the wall.
When the police discover Solomon at the crime scene they suspect he is the murderer and lock him up. Solomon must escape to clear his name and solve the mystery of why the last remaining survivors of a notorious Nazi death camp are being hunted down and murdered. Only by saving these survivors from evil can Solomon hope to piece together the truth about a decades-old conspiracy as well as discover the key to his own identity.

Review:
Toyne has turned out a subtle yet compelling religion-flavored thriller that engenders a one more page, one more chapter urgency, much like his previous trilogy. --Library Journal (starred review) on The Searcher"
Top-shelf writers aren t made--they re born, and you can tell in two pages when you ve found one. Simon Toyne has got the gift, and THE SEARCHER proves it-his imagery, his language, and the cool mystery surrounding Solomon Creed and where he s going. I think you ll love this one. --Greg Iles, author of Natchez Burning and The Bone Tree on The Searcher"
One of the best and most original thrillers of the year A nail-biting, relentlessly suspenseful effort that grabs us on page one and never lets go The Searcher lives up every bit to its terrific premise, a tale as wondrously conceived as it is brilliantly realized. --Providence Journal on The Searcher"
Not a dull page to be found anywhere. A thriller gem. Simon Toyne is a first class talent, speeding in the fast lane to the top of the genre. --Steve Berry on The Searcher"
Intrigue, mystery, atmosphere . . . it will draw you in and hold you there. Solomon Creed is a thriller with smarts and class. --Scott Mariani on The Searcher"
In Simon Toyne s The Searcher, Toyne begins a new series with a page-turning thriller Thriller fans should enjoy this vibrant and exciting story. --The Missourian on The Searcher"
Compelling, vivid and profound, I loved it. It stays with you long after you ve finished the final page. --Peter James on The Searcher"
A combination of Lee Child-the Jack Reacher books-and Stephen King! How likely does that sound? But in fact the comparisons are apt Vividly evoked action and electrically alive emotion. And a satisfying climax after breathstopping suspense. Look, just get started on this series. You ll be glad you did. --Sullivan County Democrat on The Searcher"

Solomon Creed, the enigmatic hero introduced in The Searcher, is back—racing to stop a killer from fulfilling a bloody legacy with origins stretching back to the dying days of World War II.
Only one boy can see the darkness. Only one man can save him from it.
In Cordes, France, an elderly tailor is murdered in his shop, and the killer leaves a cryptic message scrawled on the wall: “Finishing what was begun . . .”
Solomon Creed has been searching for the tailor, hoping the old man might provide a clue to his true identity, but he arrives in Cordes too late and finds nothing but the alarming crime scene. He discovers that the tailor was in possession of a list of names, survivors of a notorious Nazi death camp, who might also know who Solomon really is. The old man died to protect this list. Now his granddaughter, Marie-Claude, has it, and her life is in immediate danger.
Solomon convinces Marie-Claude and her young son, Léo, to go on the run, on a journey that will take them into the heart of Europe’s violent past and pit them against a powerful and formidable enemy. Their only weapons are Solomon’s abilities, Marie-Claude’s determination to discover the truth, and Léo’s unusual synesthesia, which enables him to see emotions as colors that reveal the true intentions of those around him. It is a curse as well as a gift, exposing him to darkness no child should see. What begins as a small-town murder becomes a breathless race against time to rewrite history and unearth a devastating secret dating back to the darkest days of the war.
