Jean Weso is a child of the sixties. He was born after an encounter between a Swedish woman and a Danish man. He grew up in Copenhagen and Paris with his identical twin brother, Christian. After many years working as an editor and journalist, he has turned to crime almost full time. For many years, he lived in Amsterdam with his Capetonian wife Ingrid, who’s also an identical twin. He now lives in Cessenon-sur-Orb, a small town at the foot of the Pyrenees, where he, when not cycling or swimming, spends his time writing a crime novel featuring a French police inspector.
