I highly enjoyed this follow-up book to The Searcher and the second book in the Solomon Creed Trilogy. The plot is excellent and the writing is superb. There are lots of characters; some are nice and some not so nice. The character of Solomon Creed is the most original character that I have ever read about. I find him to be rather magical and mysterious at the same time. A sort of 'superhero' and searcher for the truth. In this book, Solomon is racing to find out who he really is while he is trying to stop a killer from fulfilling a bloody legacy with origins stretching back to World War II. We did receive some more background information about Solomon but there will be more to come in the last book of the trilogy. I would suggest to read The Searcher first so you can be introduced properly to Solomon Creed, although the second book can stand alone, as there is enough information about what happened in the past where you will not feel lost in the story. I would highly recommend this trilogy to those who like thrillers that hook you and do not let go until the end of the book. But the ending will leave you even wanting more. If you find you do love Simon Toyne's writing as much as I do, then you need to read his Sanctus trilogy which I would consider just as fascinating as Solomon Creed.
