'In this haunting, suspense debut, Evans takes the reader on a page-turning adventure'
Review
'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 )

'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 )
