The Sleep Room, his first non-fiction book, was published to wide critical acclaim in the UK (Little, Brown) and America (Abrams) in 2025. ‘Compelling’ – the Sunday Times; ‘A gripping exposé’ – Financial Times; 'Lacerating' – The Guardian.

Jon's new J.S.Monroe thriller, His Final Patient, is about a psychiatrist who claims he can predict a patient's 'death day'. When he tells DI Silas Hart that he will die in five days' time, a chilling race against time ensues.

'His Final Patient is brainy, twisty, inventive... and, remarkably, grounded in research at once fascinating and horrifying,' says AJ Finn, author of the global bestseller, The Woman in the Window. 'It is, in other words, a JS Monroe thriller. Monroe writes thrillers for grown-ups: readers who admire sharp writing, readers who savour complex characters – characters like Silas Hart, one of the most appealing sleuths in contemporary crime fiction. The Hart novels are absorbing police procedurals that double as high-tension psychological thrillers (fans of Lisa Jewell, ready those nerves for jangling); but above all, they're mind-meddling, sleep-defying stories, the sort that remind you what real suspense feels like.'

After reading English at Cambridge, Jon became a freelance journalist, writing investigative and arts features for the Observer, Private Eye, the Telegraph and the Times. For two years, he was a foreign correspondent in New Delhi before returning to become Weekend editor of the Telegraph in 2005 and to write espionage novels. Dead Spy Running, part of the Daniel Marchant Spy Trilogy, was optioned by Warner Bros. with a screenplay written by Oscar-winner Stephen Gaghan.

In 2015, he became a full-time author, writing psychological thrillers as J.S. Monroe. Find Me has been translated into fourteen languages. Jon is currently a Royal Literary Fund Bridge Fellow and is a vice chair of the Marlborough Literature Festival in Wiltshire, where he lives with his wife, the photographer Hilary Stock. They have three adult children. ...more
