Arabian Nights meets Indiana Jones. A superlative adventure packed with vengeful Djinni, flying carpets and a breathtaking race to save mankind
Jon Mayhew is a man with a dark imagination, who has always loved writing and storytelling. An English teacher (to children and teenagers) for 20 years, he now works as a specialist teacher for children with autism. He has four children himself and, when neither teaching nor writing, he plays in ceilidh bands and runs marathons. Jon lives between the ancient cities of Chester and Liverpool. Jon's debut novel, Mortlock, was shortlisted for the 2011 Waterstone's Children's Book Prize, nominated for the 2011 Branford Boase Award and has been chosen for Booked Up 2011.
Praise for Mortlock: A macabre, darkly humorous adventure peppered
with deadly thrills. A dazzling debut
*Guardian*
Praise for The Demon Collector: Mortlock was a striking debut . . .
it created a creepy atmosphere that won much praise. The Demon
Collector is equally full of well-written suspense but far funnier,
with a strong filmic element that fans of Joseph Delaney's Spooks
Apprentice and Anthony McGowan's Hellbent will lap up
*Amanda Craig, The Times*
