Publisher's summary

The electrifying new thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author, Simon Toyne.

Only one boy can see the darkness. Only one man can save him from it.

‘Perfect for fans of Lee Child’ Sun

A MURDER
An elderly tailor is found tortured and murdered in the ancient town of Cordes. Written in blood beside the body are the words: FINISHING WHAT WAS BEGUN.

A SECRET
But the dead man has left a cryptic message for his granddaughter and her son, Leo – one that puts them in immediate danger.

A RACE
They are forced to go on the run, accompanied by the enigmatic Solomon Creed. What began as small-town murder becomes a race to uncover a devastating secret dating from World War II. The few men who know the truth are being killed by a powerful organization, and only one man stands in its way.

Only Solomon Creed can stop the murders.
Only he can save the boy.

Critic reviews

"Simon Toyne is one of my favourites. In Solomon Creed, he's created a hero for the ages. A word of warning: if you have anything else to get done, don't crack open a Toyne thriller." (Gregg Hurwitz, the number one Sunday Times best-selling author of The Nowhere Man)
" The Boy Who Saw is the Pandora's Box of books - once opened it cannot be closed. Toyne's writing brings effortless fluency combined with heart-pounding action. Readers beware...this is a glorious terror of a tale." (Helen Fields)

Far too long

This book could have been told in less chapters.
To many characters.
Enjoyed first book in the series more.

Another exhilarating ride

Yet another Solomon Creed novel - another amthospheric journey created by the skilled wordsmith and the very competent narrator.
The only minus: the story is set in France, with many French characters. Joseph Balderrama is normally fabulous with accents and dialects, so his using British and Scottish accent for reading French people's dialoge sounds somewhat weird - but ok, you get used to that.
