The Hitchhiker

De: Gabriel Bergmoser

Narrado por: Lee Cormie, Stevie McKeon, Gyton Grantley

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

Now that's what I'm talkin about!

This was an awesome psychological thriller! At first it seemed a bit la-de-da but boy did it turn into a gripping story of the fate of strangers meeting and the invetible twists and turns that became delightfully dark. Just what I've been craving! Skillfully performed too! 5 stars all around!

The fast pace and ruthlessness of the charters in the Outback.

This book is great and moves fast. Twists and turns to the point of prediction but then it goes in a different direction. Think Stephen King meets Tom Clancy. It’s wonderful suspense. I highly advise anybody looking for a new book to read this. Apparently there’s more to this series so start checking it out.

views into the psycho mind

i don't know how accurate the behaviors are - but quite freaky if true. a captivating listen.

Secateurs as a weapon will always be too disturbing to me.

Did not like the violence which was not expected after Backstory. That also left you wondering which is not a bad thing.

Introspective

I find this author quite unique as she appears very knowledgeable in the areas of sociopathic (not psychopathic) personality issues. She may not appeal to everyone, but I think many listeners will reexamine many of their own thoughts and behaviors. I spent years in the fields of domestic violence and child abuse and I am looking forward to more of her work
