Simon Toyne's novels are simply AMAZING! After reading Santus, which was on sale for $0.99 for my Nook a year or so ago, I was hooked and immediately finished the rest of that trilogy. I have been waiting for this one ever since. I was not the least bit disappointed. The Searcher was riveting from the start and I found I could not put it down until I finished. I have and will continue to highly recommend his novels to anyone and everyone who listens.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I am always game for trying a new to me mystery/thriller author. The story will grab you from the start and not let you go until the end. It is an edge of the seat type of book. I liked how there was not only mystery but adventure and a bit of supernatural theme to the story. The characters were well developed and the writing style was very smooth. I also thought the entire book was fast paced which made you seem to read faster. For me this was a great start to a new series that I will happy to continue reading.

Simon Toyne in his new book, “The Searcher” Book One in the Solomon Creed series published by William Morrow introduces us to Solomon Creed.
From the back cover: Perfect for fans of Lee Child and Stephen King, the author of the acclaimed Sanctus trilogy conjures a haunting epic of good and evil, retribution and redemption—the first novel in the mesmerizing Solomon Creed series
On a windy hilltop in the town of Redemption, Arizona, people have gathered at an old cemetery to bury a local man who died in a tragic accident. But the occasion is suddenly disrupted by a thunderous explosion several miles away. A plane has crashed, pouring a pillar of black smoke into the air.
As Sheriff Garth Morgan speeds toward the accident, he nearly hits a man running down the road, with no shoes on his feet and no memory of who he is or how he got there. The only clues to his identity are a label in his jacket and a book that’s been inscribed to him, both giving the name Solomon Creed. Solomon knows only that he’s here for a reason—to save a man he has never met . . . a man who was buried that very morning.
Miles away, three men scan the skies for a plane carrying an important package. Spotting the black cloud in the distance, they suspect something has gone wrong, and that the man who has sent them will demand a heavy price if the package has been lost.
To uncover his real identity, Solomon must expose Redemption’s secrets and the truth behind the death of the man he is there to save. But there are those who will do anything to stop him, men prepared to call on the darkest forces to prevent Solomon from succeeding. The Searcher delves into history, murder, criminal revenge, and personal betrayal while also exploring bravery, love, sacrifice, and renewal—all underpinned by a truly frightening and deadly mystery.
I think the moment you have a town named Redemption in Arizona you are heading for a place that has secrets and is willing to go to extremes to keep them. Next add in an Albino who has amnesia who feels that he is there to save a dead man. Now add in a crashed plane, a missing package and those that will stop at nothing to stop Solomon from what he has to do. Mr. Toyne has given us quite an engrossing thriller that will have you muttering “oh, no” as you are reading as fast as you can to get to the next page. Don’t start this book late at night as it will cost you sleep as you try to finish it before you go to bed.

Solomon Creed, whoever he may be, draws us into a fast paced storyline. A man out of a burning plane crash appearing unscathed takes us on a journey that encompasses more than just helping the individual he believes to be his reason for being in that place at that time. Each chapter ends with a revelation or an idea that makes one question all that came before in the story. Finishing the book became a driving force through my weekend.

What a Thrilling Read. I was lucky enough to have been a First Read Winner of this book, and I throughly enjoyed it. Not only did it grab my attention from page one and I had a very hard time putting it down, but it had me guessing until the very end. I loved the characters and the very interesting plot line, it had plenty of action, mystery, suspense and even a bit of a supernatural twist, this book will definitely make it to my reread book pile. "The Searcher" ends with the possibility of a second book and I hope this will turn into a series. Simon Toyne has a new fan in me and I can't wait to find out what new adventure Solomon Creed will encounter next.

A Fantastic Book
Redemption, Arizona

A man that he has never met and the one that was buried just that morning.
Three men miles away scan the skies for a plane that has a very important package on it. They suspect there is something wrong when they see the black cloud that is in the distance. They also know that the man that sent them will demand a very heavy price if the package is lost.
For Solomon to uncover his real identity he is going to have to get to the truth behind the death of the man he is there to save and also expose Redemption’s secrets. There are men prepared to call on the darkest forces, to do anything to prevent Solomon from succeeding.
