The Hunted

Frank is a service station owner on a little-used highway who just wants a quiet life. His granddaughter has been sent to stay with him to fix her attitude, but they don’t talk a lot.When a mysterious, badly injured young woman arrives at the service station with several cars in pursuit, Frank and a handful of unsuspecting customers are thrust into a sudden life-or-death standoff.But who are this group of people who will go to any lengths for revenge? And what do they want? Other than no survivors ...?Set deep in the Australian badlands, The Hunted is white-knuckle suspense matched to the adrenaline rush of a Jack Reacher novel and the creeping menace of Wake in Fright: ferociously fast-paced, filmic, visceral, tense and utterly electrifying.

‘A breathlessly exciting novel. It gut-punches you in the first few pages and doesn’t let you recover until the final, thrilling climax. An extraordinary book.’ -- M. W. Craven
