In The Tower, the thrilling conclusion to Simon Toyne’s bestselling Sanctus trilogy, an ominous countdown has begun that some believe could be the first sign of an imminent global catastrophe. Toyne’s latest thriller opens at the NASA Control Center in Maryland where the center’s director has gone missing and all that can be found is a bizarre message on his computer screen. FBI Agent J. J. Shepherd believes some of this might be related to an explosion at the Citadel, a secretive monastery in Ruin, Turkey; the viral outbreak that followed there; and the chilling disappearance of a woman named Liv Adamsen. As strange events and natural disasters occur around the world, Liv searches for the final secrets of the prophecy, while inside the walls of the Ruin, her lover, Gabriel Mann, infected by the virus, battles to survive. Is this the end of days? In the tradition of Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code and Steve Berry’s The Columbus Affair, The Tower will keep you riveted until the very last twist.

Ruin Trilogy

“A talented new writer who instinctively grasps the broad rules of superior action thrillers and adapts them with pace, grace, humor, and a keen eye for cinematic effect.” —Daily Telegraph (London) “Toyne’s writing is stellar and downright fun. Get your Dan Brown game face on and step into the temple of Simon Toyne.” —Madison County Herald Simon Toyne’s breathtaking international bestseller, Sanctus, had critics everywhere cheering, calling the author the new Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code) or Steve Berry (The Jefferson Key), while praising Toyne’s debut thriller as “remarkable,” “thrilling,” “provocative,” “haunting,” and “spectacular.” The adventure continues with The Key, returning readers to the dark world of a sinister religious order older than Christianity and their Vatican-like secret citadel high in the Turkish mountains—as one courageous woman must fulfill an enigmatic prophecy that could determine the ultimate fate of humankind. James Rollins, Raymond Khoury, and Chris Kuzneski fans will not want to miss this one.

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.

The Searcher

Forfatteren til den roste Sanctus-trilogi har frembragt en sælsom fortælling om godt og ondt, straf og tilgivelse – den første roman i den tryllebindende Solomon Creed-serie. På en bjergtop i byen Redemption, Arizona, er indbyggerne forsamlet på en gammel kirkegård for at begrave en lokal beboer, men den alvorsfulde begivenhed bliver pludselig afbrudt af en eksplosion et sted ude i ørkenen. Et fly er styrtet ned, og snart er en løbsk brand på vej mod byen. Da byens politichef haster hen til nedstyrtningsstedet, er han nær ved at køre en høj, bleg mand over, som kommer løbende væk fra ilden, barfodet og uden erindring om, hvem han er, eller hvordan han er kommet dertil. Den eneste ledetråd til hans identitet er et mærke i hans skræddersyede jakke og en bog, der er dedikeret til ham, og begge angiver de navnet Solomon Creed. Han føler sig draget mod byen og har en tvingende følelse af, at han er kommet for at redde den mand, der er blevet begravet den selvsamme morgen. For at afdække sin egen identitet må Solomon søge dybt i byens historie og sandheden om den mand, han er udset til at redde, men han møder modstand fra stærke kræfter og må handle hurtigt, hvis det skal lykkes ham at forbinde alle trådene, inden det er for sent. Creed er det første bind i en ny serie af Simon Toyne, forfatteren bag Sanctus, Nøglen og Tårnet. Simon Toyne har tidligere skrevet: Ruin - trilogien: Sanctus Nøglen Tårnet

Ruin-trilogien

Nøglen

Det ugæstfri citadel beliggende i hjertet af den urgamle tyrkiske by Ruin åbner sine porte for første gang i historien. Hvorfor nu – efter tusindvis af års hemmelighedskræmmeri? En dødelig sygdom er brudt ud i citadellet og truer med at brede sig uden for murene. Den smittede velgørenhedsarbejder Gabriel Mann har måske kuren – men kan én døende mand standse en epidemi? Uden Gabriel er Liv Adamsen, tidligere journalist, sårbar og omgivet af fremmede i den ørkenoase, der nu er hendes nye hjem. Men Liv har imidlertid langt mere at være bekymret for end blot sit eget liv … I USA efterforsker den nyuddannede FBI-agent Joe Shepherd en af NASAs mest velansete professorers forsvinden. Er det et forsvindingsnummer, en bortførelse eller noget mere ildevarslende? Shepherds efterforskning afdækker en magtfuld konspiration af globalt omfang og med dybtgående konsekvenser. Én ting står klart for dem alle – noget stort er på vej, noget, der vil forandre alting. Men vil det være en ny begyndelse eller alle dages ende?

Tårnet

Flere og flere kvinder forsvinder sporløst ... Ingen taler om det. Men de ved, at noget ligger på lur i skyggerne … Noget dødbringende lurer i skovene omkring Cinderfield. De lokale mener, at det usædvanligt høje antal forsvundne personer skyldes hjemløse, der er på gennemrejse, eller unge, der løber væk hjemmefra, og nogle giver endda Askemanden skylden – en lokal sagnfigur, som ifølge myten hjemsøger skoven på udkig efter intetanende ofre. Kriminologen Laughton Rees tror ikke på sagn og myter. Hun efterforsker allerede den lange række af kvinder, der er forsvundet i området, da nyheden om den seneste "bortløbne" unge, Maddie Friar, bringer hende til Cinderfield i en jagt på sandheden. Men alle i Cinderfield har noget at skjule, lige fra den barske leder af et off-grid kollektiv til den mystiske greve, der regerer over et forvitret kloster i hjertet af skoven ... Mens Laughton søger efter svar med hjælp fra kriminalkommissær Tannahil Khan i London, er der nogen, der holder øje med hende – registrerer alle hendes bevægelser og er parat til at gøre hvad som helst for at forhindre, at stedets mørke hemmeligheder kommer frem i lyset. --- "En af de mest fantastiske og overraskende slutninger, jeg har læst i lang tid. Helt suveræn." - M.W. Craven "Foruroligende helt ind i sjælen." - Sam Holland "Den skræmte livet af mig. Ikke til at ryste af sig igen." - Helen Fields "I samme ånd som Patricia Cornwells Kay Scarpetta ... Alt her viser, at Rees fortjener en lang serie af bøger." - Publisher's Weekly "Udsøgt skrevet og med en konstant stigende spændingskurve." - Tess Gerritsen "Simon Toyne er en af mine favoritter – han tilfører en nøje og stram styrke og en struktureret fylde til sine thrillere." - Gregg Hurwitz

Laughton Rees

Lysningen

Den kriminaltekniske ekspert Laughton Rees jagter en usædvanligt udspekuleret morder, der lader til at iscenesætte sine gerningssteder kun til hende, i denne overraskende nye psykologiske thriller fra bestsellerforfatteren bag Sanctus-trilogien. Hvordan fanger man en morder, hvis offeret ikke eksisterer? En glamourøs kvinde bliver myrdet i sit luksuriøse palæ i London, og hendes mand forsvinder. Men ifølge de offentlige registre eksisterer ingen af dem. Det eneste, politiet har at gå efter, er en række genstande arrangeret rundt om liget af kvinden, herunder et sæt nøgler og en bog med titlen Hvordan man arbejder med mord af Laughton Rees – en bog, der lader til at have hjulpet morderen med at rense stedet for kriminaltekniske spor. Laughton Rees er akademiker og arbejder normalt ikke med aktuelle sager. Da hun var teenager, blev hendes mor brutalt myrdet, og det efterlod hende traumatiseret og med ar på sjælen. Men tilstedeværelsen af hendes bog på gerningsstedet trækker hende modvilligt ind i den højtprofilerede efterforskning og det mediecirkus, der omgiver den. Mens de mørke genstande ved siden af liget fører hende tættere og tættere på offerets identitet, dukker en uhyggelig trussel mod Laughton og hendes datter op såvel som smertefulde minder om hendes fortid knyttet til den mand, hun altid har bebrejdet for sin mors død: John Rees, Laughtons far og den nuværende politichef for Metropolitan Politi, som hun ikke har talt med i 20 år. Da Laughton var ung, blev hendes familie ødelagt, og hun har bygget en ny op. Nu må hun se sin dybeste frygt i øjnene og hjælpe med at fange en morder, før det samme sker igen. --- “En forbløffende roman! Mørke genstande er lige dele behændig politiroman og gribende psykologisk thriller og vil holde dig fanget fra start til slut. Og hvor er det en mesterlig stemme, Toyne bibringer sin fiktion.” – Jeffery Deaver “Sjov, udspekuleret thriller … Jeg er vild med den måde, hvorpå Toyne væver et begavet seriemorderplot sammen med et intenst familiedrama. En bog, man læser i ét stræk.” – Lisa Gardner “Det hænder, at jeg læser en roman af en anden forfatter, der er så hamrende god, at jeg får lyst til at lægge min egen pen fra mig og trække mig tilbage, fordi jeg ikke kan matche den. Det her er sådan en bog. Jeg var fængslet, fortumlet og fuldstændig grebet af disse fascinerende karakterer.” – Tess Gerritsen “En fremragende politiroman … Tannahill og Laughton udgør et eminent efterforskningsteam … Toyne er en dygtig historiefortæller og har overgået sig selv med denne her.” – Publishers Weekly “En skarp psykologisk thriller, der på fremragende vis trækker på stor viden om politiets arbejde … Toyne brillerer med en vidunderligt skræmmende og troværdig historie med uventede drejninger og realistiske karakterer … Toynes plot – og evne til at dykke dybt ned i de psykologiske lag – får Mørke genstande til at skille sig ud.” – Florida Sun-Sentinel “Tempoet er eminent, og som spændingen stiger, vil det være umuligt for dig at lægge bogen fra dig.” – Peter Robinson “Simon Toyne … har virkelig overgået sig selv med Mørke genstande. Den er intelligent, hæsblæsende og sprængfyldt med nye ideer – jeg tvivler på, at jeg vil læse en bedre bog i år.” – M.W. Craven

Dark Objects

Laughton Rees is back in the latest novel from the bestselling author of the Sanctus trilogy—this time, with a case that hits uncomfortably close to home and threatens the thing Laughton values most: her daughter. Forensic specialist Laughton Rees is not ashamed of her checkered past—after all, her youthful indiscretions led to the birth of her daughter Gracie, the person she loves most in the world—but when Gracie’s father unexpectedly turns up in their lives again, Laughton is automatically wary. Shelby Facer is a dangerous man, formerly imprisoned for his involvement in an international drug trafficking ring, and no matter what Laughton once felt for him, she doesn’t want him anywhere near Gracie. But when Shelby claims that he has information about an especially difficult murder case she is working, she can’t turn him down. A body with no head or hands has recently turned up in the river Thames, and the police are at a loss until Shelby identifies the man. The victim was part of a highly secretive smuggling ring Shelby was involved with during his and Laughton’s youth—which Laughton’s father, former commissioner for the Metropolitan police, was investigating before he died. Laughton throws herself into her father’s old files to try to trace the connections between past and present, but as she and DCI Tannahill Khan circle closer to the truth, the case becomes dangerously personal. When another body turns up, mutilated just like the first, the victim is no stranger to Laughton. She’ll have to face the darkest parts of her past to find the man behind the murders—before he takes away everything she loves.

The Black Highway

Forensics expert Laughton Rees hunts an unusually clever killer who appears to be staging murder scenes just for her in this twisty new psychological thriller by the bestselling author of the Sanctus trilogy. How do you catch a killer if the victim doesn’t exist? A glamorous woman is murdered in her ultra-luxurious London mansion and her husband goes missing. But according to public records, neither of them exists. The only leads police have are several objects arranged around the woman’s body, including a set of keys and a book called How to Process a Murder by Laughton Rees—a book that appears to have helped the killer forensically cleanse the crime scene. Laughton Rees is an academic who doesn’t usually work live cases after the brutal murder of her mother as a teen left her traumatized and emotionally scarred. But the presence of her book at this scene draws her unwillingly into the high-profile investigation and media circus that springs up around it. As the dark objects found beside the body lead her closer to the victim’s identity, a dangerous threat to Laughton and her daughter emerges, as well as painful memories of her past related to the man she has always blamed for her mother’s death: John Rees, Laughton’s father, the current Metropolitan Chief Commissioner and a man she has not spoken to in twenty years. Laughton’s family was destroyed once and she built herself a new one. Now, she has to face her darkest fears and help catch a killer before this one is destroyed too.

In this gripping suspense novel from the bestselling author of the Sanctus trilogy, lead forensic expert Laughton Rees is back, this time investigating a series of missing women in a small town near the Forest of Dean—where she uncovers a dark and sinister plot, decades in the making. Never go back into the woods. Never go back and never look back… Midsummer’s Eve. Bonfires dot the English countryside and flicker in the ancient Forest of Dean as costumed revelers dance and drink the night away. But when the sun rises, a local girl, Maddie Friar, has vanished, last seen heading to a party in a forest commune called “The Clearing.” Her sister Adele reports her missing but the local police say Maddie was a known party girl and probably ran off with some boy, or maybe the “Cinderman” got her, referring to a local legend of a forest spirit said to haunt the woods in search of a lost daughter. Eminent criminologist and academic Dr. Laughton Rees also knows about the Cinderman. She has found dozens of historical missing persons cases in these woods, all women, all attributed to this legend. But she doesn’t believe in legends; she believes in facts, so she heads to the forest and, with help from Adele, starts questioning everyone, from the mysterious Earl, lord of the crumbling abbey in the heart of the forest, to the charismatic leader of The Clearing. But as Laughton slowly begins to unravel the legend of the Cinderman and realizes it is bound by blood to Adele and Maddies’ dark past, she also discovers too late that the truth is far uglier, and far more dangerous, than any mythical monster.

Erst nach Stunden bewegt er sich ? und springt in die Tiefe. Nur wenige wissen: Das war ein symbolischer Akt, der die Augen der Welt auf Trahpah lenken sollte.

Decenas de turistas asisten atónitos a la escena: uno de los monjes del antiquísimo y enigmático monasterio conocido como La Ciudadela sube a lo alto de la montaña, forma con su cuerpo la figura de una cruz en T y se lanza al vacío. Para algunos, es la señal que llevaban décadas esperando para entrar en acción. Para el agente Arkadian, el comienzo del caso más extraño de su vida. Para la joven norteamericana Liv, la confrontación con una parte oscura de su propio pasado. Y para la extraña congregación que rige La Ciudadela al margen de las leyes del mundo, el momento de tomar medidas drásticas que eviten que su secreto salga a la luz. Un secreto que han custodiado durante siglos, que puede demostrar a la humanidad que han estado engañados durante mucho, muchísimo tiempo…

El desenlace de la trilogía que ha cautivado a miles de lectores en todo el mundo. Las señales son inequívocas: el momento de la verdad se acerca. ¿Será el fin del mundo o el comienzo de una nueva era? No te pierdas la tercera entrega de una trilogía que rebosa acción, misterio, enigmas religiosos y mucho, mucho suspense. El FBI investiga un caso muy extraño: la NASA ha perdido el control del telescopio Hubble, que ahora apunta hacia la Tierra. En todas las pantallas del centro de control solo hay un mensaje: «la humanidad no debe buscar más lejos». Poco después, comienzan a producirse extraños fenómenos naturales, y un poderoso sentimiento que impulsa a todo el mundo a buscar refugio en sus hogares. La respuesta al enigma está a muchos kilómetros, en Irak, en un lugar mítico en mitad del desierto. Allí, la joven Liv Andersen se enfrenta al momento decisivo en que la profecía guardada durante milenios por los monjes de La Ciudadela está a punto de revelarse. ¿Qué significa realmente «el fin de los días»?

La torre

LA FE DE LA HUMANIDAD ESTÁ EN LAS MANOS DE UNA SOLA MUJER La periodista Liv Adamsen ha escapado de la altamente secreta Ciudadela en el corazón de la antigua ciudad de Ruin y ahora yace aislada, mirando las paredes del hospital, tan blancas como su memoria. A pesar de su incapacidad para recordar el pasado, algo extraño se mueve dentro de ella. Se siente poseída por una sensación que no puede definir y la acosan susurros que solamente ella escucha: "KuShiKaam", La Llave. Para otros el significado es claro, mientras que para un mercenario que opera en el desierto de Siria, un hombre conocido solamente como "el Fantasma", Liv parece tener la llave de uno de los secretos más poderosos de la historia, para la hermandad de monjes de la Ciudadela, ahora azotada por una terrible plaga, su regreso a Turquía puede significar la única forma de asegurar la supervivencia, mientras que para una poderosa facción en la Ciudad del Vaticano, su misma existencia amenaza el éxito de un desesperado plan para salvar a la iglesia de la ruina. En el centro de los acontecimientos que desafían toda explicación, y perseguida por alguien que cree que podría estar intentando asesinarla, Liv recurre a la única persona en la que puede confiar: un trabajador de la fundación llamado Gabriel Mann. Juntos deben eludir la captura y viajar al lugar donde comenzó toda la vida. Desde Nueva York hasta Roma y los desiertos del Medio Oriente, los mundos chocan en una carrera para descubrir una revelación que data de la creación del hombre en esta electrizante secuela del bestseller internacional Sanctus. “Si te gustan los secretos profundamente escondidos y la acción vertiginosa, entonces la novela de suspenso de Toyne es el lo que estás buscando… Al igual que en su debut, Toyne ofrece una apasionante historia de intriga religiosa y política que es arrolladora, pero también íntima y muy personal. Guau." — Booklist “Es difícil pensar en esta novela como un debut, es mejor percibirla como el comienzo de una grandiosa nueva aventura, adiós a Dan Brown. . . .” — The Daily Mirror "Notable . . . La urgencia de 'solo una página más, un capítulo más' te mantiene leyendo toda la noche, y la revelación final del secreto de la Ciudadela es inquietante". — Library Journal

La llave

Främlingen 	”Jag har inget minne av vem jag är eller var jag kommer ifrån, inte heller hur jag kom hit. Det enda jag ser är vägen och öknen som under en flammande himmel sträcker ut sig åt alla håll.” 	 	Solomon Creed springer från olycksplatsen, från det nedstörtade planet, ­utan att veta hur han hamnade där eller vem han är. När han får veta att han befinner sig i den lilla staden Redemption, Arizona, får han en stark känsla av att han är där för att rädda någon, en man han aldrig träffat. Men han kommer för sent ​– mannen begravdes samma morgon. 	 	När Solomon Creed börjar gräva i stadens historia och hemligheter kommer han allt närmare svaren han söker. Men han inser snart att det finns många som är beredda att göra allt för att stoppa honom.
