Publisher's Summary

The Driver:

Ahead he could see only the stretch of unending road, on either side brown-scorched plains of dirt and scrub, above it all a soaring blue sky and blinding sun. Desolation that looked, to him, a hell of a lot like freedom. He wasn’t playing by anyone’s rules anymore.

The Hitchhiker:

Have you ever done something bad? The question was like a clawed hand seizing his guts. It had taken everything he’d had not to whimper, to cower away and beg. But as he’d deflected, he’d told himself to stay calm. To be in control. He had to be in control here.

The Fugitive:

She’d made a mistake. Wasn’t the first time and wouldn’t be the last. Ever since she’d left, all she’d found was more trouble. More fights. More secrets. More scars. Now here she was, still alive but a long way from anywhere, and with options dwindling fast.

From the award-winning author of The Hunted comes a fast-paced outback thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

What the critics say

"The Hitchhiker straps the listener into the chair and slowly turns up the voltage for six terrifying hours. I haven't found a cat-and-mouse game this captivating since Misery." (Jack Heath, author of Kill Your Brother

“A terrifying tale of violence, fear and loneliness, as achingly tender as it is nail-bitingly tense. The perfect listen for your next road trip.” (Anna Downes, author of The Safe Place

"Two things I will never do again after devouring The Hitchhiker: miss a book by Gabriel Bergmoser; ever get in a car with him..." (Benjamin Stevenson, author of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone

Trauma & psychology that evolve into a thriller!

This story, written by Gabriel Bergmoser, is quite slow moving, matched in pace by the narrators, Lee Cormie, Stevie McKeon, and Gyton Grantley. Very evocative of the Australian Outback, and there are some lovely twists - especially the ending! Trauma and psychology evolve into a thriller!
