Jon Weaving was born in London, spent most of his life in Australia, and now lives with his wife and a house full of cats in the north of Aotearoa New Zealand. Before becoming a full time writer, he worked in everything from offices to welding shops, played music and raced motorcycles. He has been a columnist, writing tutor and short story writer - winning many awards including the Bicentennial Award for Literature. His critically acclaimed post-Soviet spy thriller To A Wolf The Kill was originally published by William Heinemann/Reed Books and then Random House/Arrow books - and has now been reissued by the author for a new generation of readers. Praise for To A Wolf The Kill "From the chilly corridors of the Kremlin to a remote Australian island, this novel of international treachery is an utterly convincing journey through post-glasnost Russia." - Reader's Feast Magazine "Weaving's novel is so good... plenty of action and suspense... and a surprise ending that's as sharp as a knife through the heart." - The Sunday Telegraph "Brings to mind Gorky Park, albeit a much better and updated version... quickly builds to a thudding climax that will long stay in the memory." - Canberra Times "Weaving is to be commended for devising such a gripping thriller for our uncertain times, and for getting it all so right." - Australian Book Review "Jon Weaving has constructed exactly the right kind of counter-espionage maze." - The Age "Superbly crafted... deals with dark Russian deeds and Byzantine plots... so utterly believable and tightly written that it demands a sequel." - The Sunday Age "It's remarkable... one of the most assured and suavely written crime thrillers ever... presented with an astonishing virtuosity... ensures Jon Weaving a place in the same class as the most famous of those poets of the spy/crime novel." - Art Streams Magazine
