The Tower: Part Two

In 2007 Simon Toyne quit his job and moved to France to fulfil a long-held desire to write a thriller. After a sleepless night crossing the Channel, he and his family abandoned a planned eight-hour drive to their new home and limped instead to the city of Rouen. It was the sight of the sharp spire of Rouen Cathedral piercing the pre-dawn sky that gave birth to the fictional Citadel of Sanctus.

Sanctus, The Key and The Tower all became immediate bestsellers. To date they have been translated into 25 languages and published in 40 countries.
