Critics Review
“Laws of Solomon takes off like a bullet fired from a freight train and maintains the pace to the very end. La Salle writes with verve, economy, and even a touch of poetry. A terrific read.” – Dennis Lehane
“Eriq La Salle leaves a powerfully haunting and lasting impression with Solomon, retired hitman who’s lived a life of violence from a young age, has sworn never to be violent again but is forced back in when the life of an innocent young boy is on the line. The Laws of Solomon is a powerful story of survival…of the past, the present, of choices and the hope of redemption.” – Yasmin Angoe, bestselling author of Her Name Is Knight trilogy and Behind These Four Walls
“Laws of Solomon is a bracing, emotionally complex exploration of who we are and how the choices we make can define us. Eriq La Salle brings a deep reservoir of empathy and honesty to this story of a former hit man who finds his most dangerous enemy may be his own sense of regret. An amazing read!” – S.A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of King of Ashes
“Eriq La Salle’s Laws of Solomon is lush and brutal, a poem hiding out as a novel. I sped through this cinematic story that slashed and nursed my heart–and for me, that’s the mark of extraordinary writing.” – Rachel Howzell Hall, New York Times bestselling author
“In this gripping addition to his Martyr Maker series, Eriq La Salle gives us a good reason to not spend time in New York with detectives Freeman and Cavanaugh–morally complex hitman Soloman Nangobi. La Salle seamlessly blends key moments from Soloman’s past as a child soldier-turned-hitman with his precarious present trying to protect an innocent child from a brutal cartel kingpin. It’s a story of sacrifice, second chances, and the unexpected bond of found family. You’ll be cheering for La Salle’s pitch-perfect anti-hero to finally get his version of a happy ending.” – Kellye Garrett, award-winning author of Missing White Woman
