Kevin Wignall has been writing thrillers since 2001, when People Die introduced his spare, atmospheric style. His novels tend to focus on assassins, spies, and loners pulled back into violent worlds they thought they had left behind. For the Dogs, later reissued as The Hunter’s Prayer, was adapted into a film starring Sam Worthington in 2017.

Wignall’s output picked up considerably in the 2020s, with titles like The Names of the Dead, Those Who Disappeared, and I Arise arriving in quick succession. He also published eleven short stories between 2008 and 2013, many of them crime and noir pieces. His YA novel When We Were Lost (2019) showed a different side of his range, following a group of teens stranded after a plane crash.
