Jonathan Cross specializes in political and conspiracy thrillers that are set against the backdrop of political power struggle. Thrillers often take place wholly or partly in exotic settings such as foreign cities, deserts, polar regions, or high seas. The heroes in most thrillers are frequently "hard men" accustomed to danger: law enforcement officers, spies, soldiers, seamen or aviators. However, they may also be ordinary citizens drawn into danger by accident.

Jonathan Cross has written several suspense/mystery novels, including Soul Bearer and Vatican Conspiracy. His ability to weave plot and character is reminiscent of the great suspense writers. He brings a new and exciting style of writing that captures the readers inside the story and makes them feel part of the plot.
