Assassins, espionage, giant squid, and mind-blowing adventure combine as one boy sets out to rescue his mentor. Jules Verne meets Young Bond (with sharks)
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 Waterstones 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 Spook's Apprentice and Anthony
McGowan's Hellbent will lap up.
*Amanda Craig, The Times*
