Gianna Hartwright (the pen name of Jane Hunt) is an English children's author who studied at Cambridge University and who has enjoyed a long and highly successful career in public relations. As a lover of detective stories herself, she has created the teenage detective, Jonathan Jinks, to help children understand the thrill of a mystery novel. Jonathan's first case revolves around the growing crime of dognapping - a worldwide crime that makes this novel as relevant to kids in the USA, Canada, Australia and many other countries of the world, as it is to children in the UK.
