The Boy Who Saw

A Solomon Creed Novel

Beschreibung

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 had a list of names, survivors from 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. Their only weapons are Solomon’s abilities, Marie-Claude’s determination to discover the truth, and Leo’s unusual synesthesia, which enables him to see colors instead of emotions that reveal the true intentions of those around him. What begins as a small-town murder becomes a breathless race against time to unearth a devastating secret dating back to the darkest days of the war.
