Overview

Redemption isn’t given. It’s fought for. 

After years of violence, Solomon leaves the brutal backdrop of New York and its underworld to find peace in California where he settles for the quiet life of a gardener defined by routine, restraint, and a fragile kind of peace that had alluded him. Having been a former child soldier, mercenary, and hit man, he is determined to put his past behind him. But as violence erupts on the grounds he tends, his hard-won tranquility shatters when he encounters a young boy named Gaby whose life is in danger.

Protecting the child pulls Solomon back into a world he swore he’d buried. As they set out on an unexpected journey, hunted by men who will stop at nothing to get what they want, Solomon must confront not only the threat closing in but the darkness he carries within.

Propulsive and deeply human, Laws of Solomon is a story of redemption, found family, and the cost of choosing compassion in a brutal world. In saving Gaby, Solomon may finally discover whether peace is something a man like him can earn—or something he must sacrifice everything to protect.

Eriq La Salle brings readers into the world of his acclaimed Martyr Maker series with this standalone novel—the perfect entry point for readers new to La Salle’s writing.

Review

Protecting the child pulls Solomon back into a world he swore he’d buried. As they set out on an unexpected journey, hunted by men who will stop at nothing to get what they want, Solomon must confront not only the threat closing in but the darkness he carries within.

Well! Eriq is one talented person…actor, writer, narrator…and I am sure there is so much more!

This book takes you on an emotional ride! But let me tell you, Solomon is one complex character. He will kill you in a heartbeat, he has a terrible past, but he will NOT leave a child behind. And this child steals a piece of his heart. I loved the emotions this story created!

I could listen to Eriq La Salle narrate anything. You talk about excellent. Of course, I love it when an author narrates their own work. But this man’s voice is so smooth!

Need an emotional thriller to send you into the weekend….THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
