"Jon Evans seems to spend most of his time backpacking in places (Zimbabwe, the Balkans, Iraq) that even the most intrepid of us tend to avoid. Evans also finds time to write strong, politically motivated thrillers." - Chicago Tribune
Jon Evans is a novelist, journalist, adventure traveller and software engineer. His novels have won an Arthur Ellis Award, translation into half a dozen languages, and praise from The Economist, The Times, and The Washington Post. His journalism has appeared in Wired, Reader's Digest, The Guardian, The Globe and Mail and The Times Of India, and he writes a weekly column for TechCrunch. He lives in Toronto and at rezendi.com.
'You're hooked. Evans contrives to slip the necessary specialist net-head detail into the plot without being boring or patronising. He can also pin down a character with a few details deftly brushed in... The characters are delightfully delineated by their speech patterns... beautifully controlled... Not the least satisfying aspect of this pacy thriller for the 21st century is the way things go on happening until the last page.' -- The Times 'A clever interesting read that you can take your time over. One can only hope that this, the first novel by Jon Evans, is not the last.' - -- Bolton Evening News 'A taut thriller ... He keeps you guessing and leaves you with the uncomfortable realisation of just how plausible all this could be. A real page-turner' -- Ms London 'This is a stunning debut novel from a thriller writer to watch ... a breathtaking thriller' -- Western Daily Press 'TRAIL OF THE DEAD is engaging, disturbing, and relentless - an impressive debut novel.' -- C.J. Box, award-winning author of WINTERKILL 'An original two-way hunt with moments of real suspense scattered across the wildest reaches of the planet' -- Hector Macdonald 'In this haunting, suspense debut, Evans takes the reader on a page-turning adventure' -- Publishers Weekly 'I was completely gripped. As the plot unfolded, I found myself constantly surprised. Jon Evans's plotting is excellent, and he has obviously travelled widely - all the details are clearly authentic and I found myself interested in the locations as much as the plot. The internet aspect of the story was intriguing, and at the end all the strands were tied up perfectly. I never wanted to put the book down, and I was almost glad I was ill, so I had the chance to read it quickly.' -- Emily Barr 'You're hooked.
