Solomon Creed #1
The Searcher
The author of the acclaimed Sanctus trilogy conjures an eerie epic of good and evil, retribution and redemption—the first novel in the mesmerizing Solomon Creed series in which a man with no memory of his past must save a lost soul in a small Arizona town.
On a hilltop in the town of Redemption, Arizona, the townspeople gather at an old cemetery for the first time in decades to bury a local man. The somber occasion is suddenly disrupted by a thunderous explosion in the distant desert. A plane has crashed, and it’s pouring a pillar of black smoke into the air.
As Sheriff Garth Morgan speeds toward the crash, he nearly hits a tall, pale 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 handmade suit jacket and a book that’s been inscribed to him: both giving the name Solomon Creed. When Morgan tells Solomon that he is in Redemption, Arizona, Solomon begins to believe he’s here for a reason—to save a man he has never met . . . the man who was buried that morning.
Miles away, three men scan the skies for an overdue plane carrying an important package. Spotting a black cloud in the distance, they suspect something has gone badly wrong, and that the man who has sent them will demand a heavy price if the package has been lost.
To uncover the secret of his identity, Solomon Creed must uncover Redemption’s secrets too and learn 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 seeing the light.

A plane crashes on the outskirts of a town called Redemption in the Arizona desert, fire threatens and through the smoke comes a stranger. An albino with no memory and a town with a whirlwind of pain heading toward it.
All this white haired stranger possesses is a journal from the founder of the town, in the days of the wild west and written within, the name of a man, someone he needs to save.
The story alternates between past and present, with the majority spent in the present. Our stranger, Solomon Creed, as he remembers, has in true Jason Bourne style a variety of unexplained skills and knowledge that place him in a different walk of life to your average hombre.
Add to that a drug lord who's lost something extremely important in that plane crash, a multitude of folk both good and bad heading toward Redemption and there's some interesting plot lines coming together.
To give anymore away would be to ruin the story but safe to say there's some intriguing components combined with a decent pace. Solomon Creed is extremely well written, however the story never really blew me away and as a result I was never that desperate to get back to it. The problem with a memory loss thriller is your main character will always lack depth unless things start to come back rapidly through the story, our protagonist never really gets that. This being the case the story has to be action packed to hold your attention and our hero needs to hold your interest otherwise you find yourself associating more with peripheral characters. Who, in the end were more interesting for various reasons.
The ending throws in something mysterious to bring you back for the second book of a proposed trilogy but I'm teetering on the brink of not caring enough to continue. There's certainly potential and some will love it but there wasn't enough for me.

A funeral is taking place in the small mining town of Redemption, Arizona. Just as the coffin descends to earth, a plane drops out of the sky to crash onto the highway. From the heart of the flames emerges an albino with amnesia...and a mission. Blood will spill in the days to come as corruption is thrust from the shadows into the harsh light of the Southwestern sun.
Toyne's novel owes a great deal to Eastwood's Pale Rider. Part western, part myth, and the remaining percentage modern-era crime - it's definitely an ambitious trick. Unfortunately, the story doesn't rise to much more than this. And that's what happens when an author fails to pay attention to his themes. It's not enough to throw down some history, scatter a few symbols, and gift your protagonist with mystical abilities. If you're going to enter into the realm of metaphor and allegory, you'd better be prepared to tackle the meaning of things. No one's suggesting you need to come up with all the answers, but you sure better lay out the questions and a few of your hard-won beliefs.
Otherwise I'll be climbing right back up onto this palomino of mine and heading for a more substantial stretch of territory.

Returning to begin a new series, Simon Toyne offers readers an interesting story and a mysterious protagonist, free of significant backstory. A man wanders along a deserted road, shoeless and confused. He has little knowledge of where he is, who he might be, or where he's been. Arriving in Redemption, Arizona, the man soon realises that he is Solomon Creed and came from the direction of a plane crash, still smouldering on the outskirts of town. He has a book in his possession, a memoir of the town's founder, given to him by one Jim Coronado. Creed has no idea what connection he has to Coronado, but seeks to begin piecing things together, if only to alleviate his sense of confusion. Meanwhile, the aforementioned plane crash seems to have taken the life of a young man, a drug dealer who has ties to a Mexican cartel. As the reader soon learns, the town's authorities have a similar connection with the same cartel and have been acting as an entry point for drug distribution. However, someone is surely responsible for this crash and the cartel's kingpin will not stand to see his son die for nothing. As Creed learns more about Jim Coronado and his connection to a town secret, he realises that he must act to blow the whistle on the corruption before he, too, is silenced, and the illegal activity continues to prosper. Toyne returns with another novel seeped in religious symbolism, equally as unique as his past collection of novels. A hit or miss for readers who may have an affinity for Mr. Toyne's past work.
While I thoroughly enjoyed the previous books Toyne wrote, this one fell flat for me. The premise is one that usually pulls me in, a Reacher-esque novel where the reader is introduced to many characters, some of whom work with the protagonist while others seek to stymie his progress in unravelling what is going on. I could not find myself developing a connection to Creed or the story in general, even with some of the mysteries Toyne plants in his narrative. The ever-present town history told through the eyes of Redemption founder, Reverend Jack 'King' Cassidy, in the form of a testament of sorts did not succeed in yanking me into the intricacies of the story's progression. The symbolic use of 'J.C' is not lost on me, but the religious undertones were not as captivating as in many other stories. I must admit that the writing was strong, the characters had some depth, and the narrative kept a decent pace, but that did not seem to be enough this go round. Some might welcome this new series with open arms, but I think I may give it a pass, unless I find myself in need of a filler or choose to forgive and allow Toyne to 'redeem' himself.
Decent work, Mr. Toyne and I hope you garner a large following with Solomon Creed. Alas, I won't be one rushing out to see if he tries to be the new Jack Reacher.

Yes, it's long. And double yes, it is complicated. It's not just a 3 sided complexity either. It's 4 sided at the least and at other times 5 sided or possibly 6 sided. Is this town in a Civil War, or is it more that the town itself is "owned"? By whom, or by what? And what will the "title papers" to the town eventually look or act like? And is Creed human? Whose (if any) of these sides is he on? Or is he just a kind of universal prototype Earth bio-robot of a Reacher style formula base who has happened to chance a fall into a boiling and steaming pot of activity? Or has he been sent there as a "job"? And of course, how did he arrive?
You WILL need patience and a good name retention memory to deal with this first of a series. It didn't help me that so many of the "guys" of questionable to which cabal loyalty or town job category had names starting with M. At least Solomon (wisdom akin to his Bible namesake?) Creed LOOKS and acts apart. So is his name and appearance memorable.
Some of the story line felt truly bizarrely "out of the box" to be town sense (Redemption AZ) believable. This funeral did and the just afterwards? Funerals do not go "away" in that sense in towns that size for any long term resident. Nowhere in the USA. They just don't. But here? And especially not for the man who passed and his widow's placement for the town.
But I'm apt to overlook the verbose world building and background redundancies because of the verve sense of the writing itself. He's good. He can write. And he knows the males. Layers aren't always revealed as much as tangent exposed. This skill is a worthy skill. It portents better coming too, IMHO. Skin deep may not be? Ever.
Looking forward to #2 despite the length of it. It's one of those books that you can hardly hold it is so thick. It's in the very next pile and has an interesting cover- it's nearly covered by an eye ball. Which is a sparkling bright blue but has an iris shape more familiar to a cat or a snake but as you observe closer is a shadow shaped male.
This is gruesome as a mob and cartel piece usually is- of any type. Just to warn you! More! Body counts and descriptions remind me VERY much of early and mid Stephen King. Chewy factor will be too large for those who like cozy or YA or maybe even most current fantasy. At a couple of points I did skim read because it was "here we go again" on that factor of torture retributions.
Solomon Creed's origin and whole plan purpose? That's barely answered yet here.

Loše, dosadno, klišeizirano.
Ima i moje krivnje, obzirom na temu prilično dobre (meni) mistično-trilerske trilogije "Sanctus" očekivao sam (te se stoga i prihvatio ove knjige) nešto u sličnom stilu no figa! Istina ima neki slabučki pokušaj - glavna faca je neki neobični albino tip (ne baš pravi, nema roze kožu i crvene oči) koji se pojavio nejasno otkud s obveznim "cool" gubitkom pamćenja (inače je sposobniji od Chucka Norissa, samo jadan ne zna "oklen"), ima tu i nekih prikaza, a i obvezno mućenje na samom kraju kao teaser za nastavak s novim avanturama.
Sve ostalo je loše, već viđeno i klišeizirano do bola - skup nekoliko prilično loših filmova.
Baš kažem filmova jer jako smrdi na piščevu raniju karijeru TV producenta. Ako budete čitali vidjet ćete na što sam mislio.
Tu su obvezno ultra-okrutni meksički drug lords, tu su lokalni pokvarenjaci na vlasti, tu je bijeli wonder man koji dolazi, sređuje i nestaje (Shane??), tu je čak i stari vestern s pustinjom, manjkom vode i užasnoskaliprajućim Indijancima.
Što je meni bilo daleko najgore pisac je počeo bježati u bespotrebno kićenje rečenica opisima, epitetima i atributima - valjda je to alat kad nemaš što napisati, a treba popuniti papir.
Kad krene neki ekšn nema baš ništa što osoba starija od 13 godina nije vidjela u holivudskim filmovima (barem su rečenice konciznije)
Sama činjenica da sam ovo razvlačio skoro dva mjeseca sve kaže, uprkos izazovima ljeta (tenis na vrelom suncu pa koji hektolitar 'ladnog piva poslije) ako naletim na dobro štivo ostajem dugo budan.
Jedva dva, recimo 1,6 - ne preporučujem nikome, a ja možda i pročitam nastavak ali jako nisko na listi kada i ako se pojavi

Mysterious place crashes, drug cartels, corrupt small town officials, dreamlike/violent religious experiences in the desert, death. If there's a thriller check box that this book hasn't got ticked, I don't know what it is. It's sublimely ridiculous and brilliant and perfect for those times when you want to put real life far to the side and switch off your incessantly whirring brain. The story was predictable but in a comforting way; knowing where a rollercoaster ends up doesn't make the ride any less exciting. I'd definitely read more.

Simon Toyne is a supremely talented thriller writer and with Solomon Creed he has achieved something marvellous. Creepy and menacing with a fabulous wild west mood, it combines a clever and chilling plot with an intriguing, unusual and memorable main character. I was wondering how Simon would follow the Sanctus trilogy and he's done it with all guns blazing - tremendous. Loved it.

Not bad for a summer read, entertaining with a hint of the supernatural.
October 8, 2015
I received a free copy of this book from a Goodreads First Reads giveaway.
I've heard plenty about this author's Sanctus trilogy, but have never read it. When I saw this, it sounded intriguing, so I took a chance and entered the giveaway. I am glad I did.
It begins with a man running from a fire, with no shoes and no idea of who he is, only that he has a sense that he is there to save someone. That someone has just been buried.
What follows is an intriguing mystery. Who is Solomon Creed and why is he at a town called Redemption? His questions will lead him to a town full of secrets, to people that have something to hide, where the lines between good and evil are drawn and some will have to decide which side to be on. It had some great twists and turns that I was not expecting with a touch of the supernatural thrown in for that extra kick. I really liked the character of Solomon Creed and the mystery of who or what he could be. The book follows 2 plotlines that merge; one of Solomon Creed and one from the POV of the founder of the town in the form of a diary.
I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

How absolutely Delicious! The Searcher had a little bit of everything I could want in a book and then a little bit more. From historical copper miners looking for "redemption" to drug cartels seeking revenge, throw in far too many dirty cops, a town on the verge of becoming a ghost town and a mysterious man with paranormal abilities. See, I told you it had it all. Fantastic writing, tons of action and a great, tight plot too. I couldn't ask for more. .... off to read the next in the series!

After reading Simon Toyne’s Sancti books and thoroughly enjoying them, I was eager to find out what was next from the author. Upon seeing a Goodreads giveaway for Solomon Creed, I jumped at the chance of potentially getting an early read in. As always, I did not expect to win – so when I did, a little happy dance occurred. Unfortunately, I have my family address rather than my university address set for my winnings to be sent to, meaning I had to wait until Christmas break to read it. I should probably point out that by this point I had four advance read winnings sitting waiting for me to pick up and the happy dancing occurred again (followed by the dilemma of where to start). You’re not interested in such a thing, though, so I’ll move on to the good stuff.
Solomon Creed is a wonderful book. I admit I didn’t quite enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Sanctus, but it is a great start to the series. There are so many questions and possibilities opened up, so many things you want to find out in the books to come. You get suggestions of answers, but nothing concrete. It is all build up for what is to come in the later books. Will I be continuing to find out my answers? Well, that is a very silly question – the answer is, of course I will be. I have been pulled into the story of Solomon Creed and I need to know what comes next for him. In fact, I will be impatiently waiting for the next book to appear.
Solomon Creed is a wonderful character. From the get-go you are pulled into his life, curious as to who he is and how he knows the things he does. Does he have military training? Is he tied up with the mafia? Is there another explanation? He knows things only certain types of people know. He does things most people would not. Who is he? What is he? You’re pulled in for the ride alongside other characters as they also try to puzzle out the answer to these questions. All the while, you’re also being pulled along for the interesting story that Solomon Creed has unwittingly been dragged into.
We have multiple mysteries, all intertwined, throughout this book. Each one lures Solomon in, each being wonderfully connected. Whilst the twists are not overly shocking – some are quite predictable actually, an issue I had with the final Sancti book – they are certainly enjoyable. You may know what is coming, but this does not prevent your enjoyment of the story.
All in all, it was a very pleasing read. I’m so glad I won a copy, and I cannot wait to see what comes next!

Kefaret için açık konuşacağım sizinle. Kitabın neredeyse ortalarına kadar "Ben bu kitaba nasıl bir yorum yapmalıyım? Resmen elimde sürünüyor." şeklindeydi. Fakat kitap sonrasında bir açılıyor pir açılıyor. Ciddi anlamda uzun zamandır bu kadar heyecanlı bir kitap okumamıştım.
Solomon Creed, bir anda kendini yanan bir uçağın kenarında bulur. Neden orada olduğu, kim olduğu hakkında hiç bir fikri yoktur. Aslında ise bir tek isim vardır... Buraya gelme sebebinin onu korumak olduğunu hisseder. Daha sonra bu adamın öldürüldüğünü öğrenir ve bu işten işkillenerek araştırmalara başlar. Sonrası kitapta, bu bile yeter çünkü inanın anlatsam burada kitabın özeti olur yani. Eğer okursanız gelin de kitabı tartışalım öyle bir durumdayım ben çünkü :D
Kitabın başları çok durağan ve kafa karıştırıcı geliyor insana. Kitapta bir sürü karakter var ve yazar her karakter ile ilgili olan kısmı ayrı ayrı ele almayı tercih etmiş. Bu yüzden yanlış hatırlamıyorsam kitapta 60 civarı bölüm var. Karakterlere alışmak ve yazarın yazım tarzına adapte olmak bir süre zorluyor insanı. Sonrasında da azıcık durağan ilerliyor roman fakat sonrasında çok heyecanlı olmaya başlıyor. Sonlarına doğru inanın nefes almadan okudum kitabı.
Kitabın sonuna ise söylenebilecek tek kelime seçsem bu "Efsane" olurdu. Çünkü yazar öyle bir son yazmış ki kitabın sonunda resmen kalakaldım. Dinsel ögelerin çokça bulunduğu bir kitaptı, okurken bazı noktalarda bazı şeyleri anlamakta zorlandığım da doğrudur fakat içinde çok anlamlı sözler de barındıran bir kitaptı.
Her ana bölümün başındaki uçak ve ünlü bir söz kısmı harika olmuş. Kitaba özenildiği her halinden belli. O yüzden Nemesis Kitap'a benden kocaman tebrikler. Yazar hakkındaki yazımda da söylemiştim, bu kitap yeni çıkan bir kitap doğal olarak devamı ne zaman gelir bilmiyorum ama gerçekten devamını şuan çok merak ediyorum. Umarım yurt dışında yayınlandıktan sonra yayınevi bizi devamı için bekletmez.
Toparlarsam... Heyecan, macera, gizem, gerilim,vs. bunları içeren bir kitap istiyorsanız bu kitap tam sizlik. Mutlaka bir şans verin bence.
Kefaret için açık konuşacağım sizinle. Kitabın neredeyse ortalarına kadar "Ben bu kitaba nasıl bir yorum yapmalıyım? Resmen elimde sürünüyor." şeklindeydi. Fakat kitap sonrasında bir açılıyor pir açılıyor. Ciddi anlamda uzun zamandır bu kadar heyecanlı bir kitap okumamıştım.
Solomon Creed, bir anda kendini yanan bir uçağın kenarında bulur. Neden orada olduğu, kim olduğu hakkında hiç bir fikri yoktur. Aslında ise bir tek isim vardır... Buraya gelme sebebinin onu korumak olduğunu hisseder. Daha sonra bu adamın öldürüldüğünü öğrenir ve bu işten işkillenerek araştırmalara başlar. Sonrası kitapta, bu bile yeter çünkü inanın anlatsam burada kitabın özeti olur yani. Eğer okursanız gelin de kitabı tartışalım öyle bir durumdayım ben çünkü :D
Kitabın başları çok durağan ve kafa karıştırıcı geliyor insana. Kitapta bir sürü karakter var ve yazar her karakter ile ilgili olan kısmı ayrı ayrı ele almayı tercih etmiş. Bu yüzden yanlış hatırlamıyorsam kitapta 60 civarı bölüm var. Karakterlere alışmak ve yazarın yazım tarzına adapte olmak bir süre zorluyor insanı. Sonrasında da azıcık durağan ilerliyor roman fakat sonrasında çok heyecanlı olmaya başlıyor. Sonlarına doğru inanın nefes almadan okudum kitabı.
Kitabın sonuna ise söylenebilecek tek kelime seçsem bu "Efsane" olurdu. Çünkü yazar öyle bir son yazmış ki kitabın sonunda resmen kalakaldım. Dinsel ögelerin çokça bulunduğu bir kitaptı, okurken bazı noktalarda bazı şeyleri anlamakta zorlandığım da doğrudur fakat içinde çok anlamlı sözler de barındıran bir kitaptı.
Her ana bölümün başındaki uçak ve ünlü bir söz kısmı harika olmuş. Kitaba özenildiği her halinden belli. O yüzden Nemesis Kitap'a benden kocaman tebrikler. Yazar hakkındaki yazımda da söylemiştim, bu kitap yeni çıkan bir kitap doğal olarak devamı ne zaman gelir bilmiyorum ama gerçekten devamını şuan çok merak ediyorum. Umarım yurt dışında yayınlandıktan sonra yayınevi bizi devamı için bekletmez.
Toparlarsam... Heyecan, macera, gizem, gerilim,vs. bunları içeren bir kitap istiyorsanız bu kitap tam sizlik. Mutlaka bir şans verin bence.

What made me enjoy this book was that it’s a real page-turner. It’s a well paced and intriguing story with a little bit of everything. There is mystery, action, some violence that I found a bit graphic, and some supernatural sprinkled in for good measure.
Solomon Creed is pretty bad-ass without being showy about it. I can't wait to read more of him. In the meantime, I will be checking out the Sanctus trilogy, also by Simon Toyne.

Really enjoyed it - very different and I wasn't sure where it was going at all for quite some time. Really liked the central character of Solomon Creed and looking further to further adventures.

Meksički karteli i njihov ludi vođa. Gradić u Arizoni i potkupljene glavešine. Novi šerif koji stradava “nesretnim” slučajem. Pad aviona i veliki požar koji dovodi cijeli grad u opasnost. To bi otprilike bio rezime ove knjige da se iz pravca srušenog aviona na pojavljuje albino bez sjećanja ali super sposoban u svemu i s jasnom idejom da “treba spasiti šerifa”.
U početku mi se Solomon činio kao Jack Reacher. Hoćeš o avionima, o načinu na koji se kreće požar i kako ga zaustaviti, o konjima, o biologiji i zdravstvu, … sve zna! Naravno i kako oružje koristiti, kako se osloboditi spona i kako nekog pretući… No međutim, odjednom su se pojavili duhovi! Koje on naravno vidi! A ostalim likovima je to čist normalno. I još ih neki drugi vide. A jedan svećenik je vidio Krista. Tu sam ostala malo zbunjena jer sam mislila da je to obični akcijski triler. Al dobro, prihvatila sam i taj obrat u radnji. I onda se na kraju dogodi preokret kojeg tek nisam očekivala i koji me je pomalo razočarao. Ali je naravno dao materijala za iduće nastavke. Koje će luda Ivana naravno uzeti čitati.
Knjiga je puna rupa, ima više negativaca nego pozitivaca koji oduzimaju previše stranica, apsolutno me nisu zanimala razmišljanja tamo nekog snajperista koji se pojavljuje samo u jednom poglavlju. O svima više piše nego o Solomonu koji je i glavni, a i naslovni lik. Svi osim njega i šerifove udovice su potplaćeni ili ucijenjeni od strane glavnog negativca koji je strah i trepet i s ove i s one strane granice. Super nategnuto. Ni njegova naširoko ispričana životna priča me nije baš toliko zanimala. I bila je nepotrebna. A glavni lik, Solomon… naravno mora spasiti udovicu i grad. Ma ne znam, sve u svemu mi se taj nadnaravni dio baš ni ne slaže s ostatkom koji je čista akcija. Nije mi onako dobro isprepleteno kao kod Rollinsa recimo. Al na polici mi je pa je eto i to jedna prednost, čitam i knjige sa svoje police.
P.S. Dragi prevoditelju, samo bih ti htjela spomenuti da se riječi poput oroz, mušica (na oružju), oputine, ešarpa, ramada više ne koriste u standardnom hrvatskom jeziku. Jel!

I was lucky enough to win a signed hardback edition of this book on another bloggers blog. I have to say when I received it I was pretty blown away by how impressive the book looked. The cover is really striking and the edges of every book page is black which I absolutely loved and thought was a great touch. Just from the appearance alone you can tell a lot of thought and effort has been put into this book.
Simon Toyne is an author I have been hearing a lot about and I had been meaning to get round to his books at some point but obviously winning a copy bumped him right up my to read pile and I have to say that after reading Solomon Creed I will certainly be reading more of his books sooner rather than later.
What better way to start off a novel by a lone survivor walking away from a plane crash. I knew right from then that I was going to enjoy this book and I was not wrong.
Solomon Creed is a total mystery, because of the crash he can not remember anything about himself. He is also a total mystery to the people of the town where the plane has crashed and as with everyone that he came to meet, I was just as intrigued into who Solomon Creed actually is. Through the story Solomon starts to remember little bits here and there and by the end we find out exactly who he is and all I can say is OMG.
Unfortunately the town that Solomon has crashed into, the people are not as nice and friendly as you would expect from a small town. There is something going on that Solomon can't quite put his finger on but he has a sense that he is supposed to be there and that he is there to save someone. Unfortunately he becomes a bit of a problem for some unsavoury characters and they want to know who he is and to get rid of him as soon as possible.
There is a touch of something almost super natural about this story which I loved and it made the story stand out even more from other books in this genre.
I loved Solomons character. He is very much a man of mystery and I was dying to find out more about him and I certainly was not disappointed.
Solomon Creed is packed full of action and with a combination of murder and mystery it makes for a very thrilling read. I'm hoping that this is just the start for Solomon as he is such an interesting character, especially after finding out who he actually is!

"The Searcher" starts fast. Most of the desert town of Redemption, Arizona is attending the funeral of its newly elected sheriff, who died in a single-person car crash (or did he?), when a plane crash several miles away sets off a prairie fire that threatens the town. As the town forms a ragged line to fight the fire, a nearly albino shoeless man runs out of the smoke on the highway toward the town Was he on the plane? He doesn't know. What is his name He doesn't know. Why is he in Redemption? He doesn't know, but feels that he is there to save the sheriff, though the sheriff is clearly dead.
As the book's focus shifts from the stranger, whose name might be Solomon Creed (Creed, Redemption, get it?), to the mayor, to the less than honest acting sheriff (who, like the mayor, is somehow connected to the plane), to the honest sheriff's widow, and to a hit man operating with a couple of other thugs to retrieve what was on the plane, things get more complex. Everyone has a back story except Creed (if that's his name), who does seem to know a lot about emergency reatment triage, fire fighting, the Bible, and whatever else seems to pop up. As opening sequences go, it zips right along and promises a deep secret or two. The book's development and ending just about deliver on all counts, though I'm still mulling over the ending.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Sanctus series and was looking forward to reading The Searcher and I have to say that it did not disappoint. The book was hard to put down and the character of Solomon Creed is quite unique. It is well written, fast paced, good character development, action, history, with a touch of supernatural. I am now anxiously awaiting the second book in the series.

nie mam pojęcia jak to ocenić bo niby spoko i pewnie 4/5, ale nie rozumiem tej końcówki i teraz nie mam pojęcia czy coś mi umknęło czy odleciała ona w strefy nierealne i tego nie zauważyłem 😆

From the smoke of a burning plane emerges Solomon Creed, an albino man with amnesia, clearly educated and skilled, speaking 6 languages and knowing many unusual things - except who he is and why he is there which let's face it - are quite useful things to know! The main plot is this mystery, which converges around a small town in rural America, chockablock with secrets. Here we're introduced to a Mexican crime lord, and a desperate mayor who's resorted to some shady practices in an attempt to save his town and the possibility of missing treasure.
There are also two other subplots; one, the historical journal of the towns founder, filled with religious intrigue, and the other, a supernatural exploration. When the supernatural aspect wandered in (unexpected), it reminded me a bit of the genre blending that Stephen King is renowned for. But if you want to strip it down to the bare basics, it's good guys vs bad guys and a search for something valuable.
So that's the story. Sound crazy? It IS crazy. Solomon Creed turns out to be one bad-ass guy and there's lots of escape scenes, fighting and the type of psychopathic villains I really love to hate. Despite the complicated story arcs, it's a really fast paced easy to read book with simple, yet effective language. Every chapter packs a punch. There was absolutely no way I could predict what was going to happen in the next chapter, let alone at the end of the book, and that kept me completely and utterly hooked.
A solid action-mystery-thriller-supernatural book - yup, that's a mouthful, but Simon Toyne has pulled it off.
My thanks go to Harper Collins and Simon Toyne for providing me with an advanced review copy.

When a plane crashes outside the town of Redemption, a man walks out of the fire. He has no memory of who he is or why he is here or even if he was on the plane. Yet he seems to have a great deal of knowledge about medicine, firefighting, and the town. He gives the name of Solomon Creed although he is not sure if that is right. He is convinced he is here to save a man except the man is already dead and buried. Yet, he can’t shake the feeling and he is determined to stay and discover what he came to do. The town’s leading citizens seem less than happy to have Solomon in their town but they are determined to make sure he doesn’t leave. Redemption has deadly secrets and Solomon is just one loose end too many.
The Searcher is the first in a new series by author Simon Toyne. It reminded me of John Connolly’s Charlie Parker series especially in the Solomon Creed character and, at least for me, that’s a very good thing. It’s a fast-paced thriller with just a touch of the supernatural and a smidgen of the old west and it kept my attention from beginning to end. Definitely a big Yes! from me. I am already looking forward to the next book in the series.

There's nothing I love more than letting my local bookstore surprise me with crime fiction picks. The Searcher actually came in pair with two other books, and it was on sale.
Listen, the summary on the back cover looked SO GOOD! (I couldn't resist.)
And guess what? The book was great, too!
I'm a sucker for southwestern settings, especially if they come paired with mysteries. I actually found the parallels with the historical settling of Redemption to be fascinating, and the modern suspense and action were perfect for the genre.
I loved the supernatural bits lingering around the edges. They weren't central to the story, but they fit it so well, and really elevated it to a whole new level.
The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the violence, but if I'm being honest, even that was executed perfectly from the writing point of view. I can't believe I haven't heard of Toyne before, but I'm so glad I know about him and his work now!

The town of Redemption, Arizona, created after its founder miraculously attained great wealth, complete with the ornate church he built in tribute to his good fortune, is literally under fire. The townspeople must somehow stop the raging inferno, roaring toward them from an airplane crash in the desert. The town, also in economic peril, must somehow uncover several mysteries, the location of the treasure hidden by the town founder, the secret illegal dealings of some of its citizens, the threat of a drug cartel and the identity of Solomon Creed who is found running from the plane, claiming amnesia. The author keeps us in suspense with the frantic efforts to fight the raging fire, many cryptic clues, a deadly gunfight and more! And now I have to wait for the next book in the Solomon Creed Series!

This book has been on my Netgalley dashboard for a very long time.
The story starts with a plane crash in the town of Redemption. Where the fire and the smoke threatens the town. Emerging from the fire and no recollection of who he is Solomon Creed. An Albino who comes to save a Jim Coronado. But, he finds out he is already dead. The story continues about a town with corrupt businessman and cops and a drugs cartel and Solomon trying to piece together who he is and what’s happening to the town.
I thought this had a great storyline and I liked the character of Solomon. But, for me personally this book wasn’t for me. Although good in parts I just got bored when he kept reciting the memoirs of the towns founder. 3 stars from me.

The Searcher is the first novel in the Solomon Creed series. I was totally absorbed while reading this novel as the writing is extremely well done and very descriptive. Solomon Creed is an unusual character and definitely a multidimensional one. Mysteries are to be solved here and a huge one is who is Solomon Creed as he has no memory of himself, only knowing his name from a sewn in label in his suit jacket. Several mysteries are thrillingly unraveled here and the adventure is pretty much non stop. By the end of the book we get an glimpse of who Solomon could be and that in itself is reason to read this book and to frantically await the next installment!

Review: THE SEARCHER by Simon Toyne
THE SEARCHER is so immediately engrossing, and time-consuming of my interest and attention, that I am ashamed I haven't been enjoying Mr. Coyne's earlier novels all along. I was captured from sentence one, and never turned loose Redemption, Arizona, a "founded" town birthed in greed and megalomania, is a microcosm of insanity, where the ethical and sane fare only poorly, if at all. Some of its more substantial denizens are hooked into an avenue of South-of-the-Border psychopathy, but then, greed arranges strange partnerships.

A quality read from the author of the Sanctus trilogy. Well written, with good characterisation throughout. It flowed, was easy to read and I felt satisfied at the end. What more do you want from a good book. Highly recommended

Od autora som citala jednu trilogiu a vtedy som bola dost nadsena. Ked som nam vyberala pred Vianocami knihy pod stromcek, s prekvapenim som prisla na to, ze autor ma dalsie knihy. Za par Eur som vzala tuto a bola to pecka 💣
Kazda kapitola je pisana tak, ze vas nuti citat dalej a dalej....
V pusti spadne lietadlo a pri nom sa zrazu objavi neznamy muz. Je albin. Nevie, ako sa vola, ako sa tam dostal. Vie len jedine, ze ma zachranit nejakeho Jima Coronada. Ked sa vsak dostane do mesta, zisti, ze Jima v ten den prave pochovali. Pokusa sa teda dostat k vdove po Jimovi, aby zistil nejake informacie, ci ho pozna, no zacnu sa mu do toho pliest rozni ludia a on zrazu zisti, ze vie ovladat bojove umenie, ze pozna zbrane, ze vie zabit jednou rukou...
Zaver som vobec neuhadla. Viem, ze to nebude po chuti vsetkym, ale ja take veci mozem.
V knihe sa pise aj o pasovani drog a ake su pritom postupy a ako sa spravaju ti bossovia 😖 Nechapem, kde sa v ludoch berie ta zloba, schopnost pozabijat a mucit celu rodinu bez stipky svedomia. Ano, tato kniha bola fikcia, ale v Juznej Amerike sa take veci deju ☹
