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.
