    About this audiobook

    One secret could destroy a family.
    One lie could save them.

    The brilliant prequel to The Boy Who Saw, a gripping thriller from Sunday Times bestseller Simon Toyne, featuring the enigmatic Solomon Creed.

    A stranger
    Solomon Creed is an outsider with an unknown past, travelling through a remote part of Texas. He doesn’t look for trouble – but trouble finds him.

    A family
    At a roadside diner, he runs into a worn-down family whose ancestral land and home is about to be auctioned. But when Solomon suspects it’s worth a lot more than they think he decides to take things into his own hands.

    A secret
    As Solomon races to find hard evidence of the land’s true value, he uncovers a dark truth – hidden for generations – that changes everything. But how far is he willing to go to save a family from potential ruin? And how far will others go to stop him?

      I’ve had The Boy Who Saw on my to-read stack for a while, then saw that Broken Promise was described as a prequel, and was due out. I ordered it straight away and got ready for a feast of Toyne by re-reading Solomon Creed, then the Sanctus Trilogy, and I have just finished Broken Promise. Sublime!I don’t want to give away the plot. Suffice to say it casts a little more light on Solomon Creed. At first the story seems to be about his fairly dire situation but if you’ve read the first book, you know that his own needs are never Solomon’s driving force ...Don’t miss this. In fact, read them all, you won’t regret it!
