Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide - an electrifying, heartpounding, truly unputdownable thriller. 'A truly terrifying, 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
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 badly injured young woman arrives at Frank's service station with several cars in pursuit, Frank and a handful of unsuspecting customers are thrust into a life-or-death standoff.But who are this group of men and women who will go to any lengths for revenge? And what do they want? Other than no survivors ...?A ferociously fast-paced, filmic, visceral, tense and utterly electric novel, unlike anything you've read before. Set on a lonely, deserted highway, deep in the Australian badlands, The Hunted is white-knuckle suspense matched to the fast-paced adrenaline of a Jack Reacher novel and the creeping menace of Wake in Fright. This is unmissable reading.

Told in “now” and “then” chapters, the two stories in themselves are good enough for two separate books. But put them together and you literally have a book that you cannot put down.
The author has created strong believable characters and told their back story so well, you can't help but get caught up in the drama. This was one of the most gripping books I've read in a long time. - Steven (QBD)

There is nothing else to say but WOW! This book had me on the edge of my seat from the moment I started. Set in outback Australia the book is overflowing with tension and horror not knowing what is around the next corner. I certainly enjoyed this scary read but don't think I will be going on a road trip any time soon. - Elizabeth (QBD)

Gabriel Bergmoser bursts onto the thriller scene in his first novel. From page one right until the epilogue, this pageturner takes you on a rollercoaster ride of white-knuckle suspense.
Told through the past and the present until both collide at a remote service station in the middle of nowhere where an injured young woman arrives with several cars in pursuit.
Fans of Wold Creek will devour it! - Alison (QBD)

A fast paced and shockingly macabre thriller.
When injured Maggie drives the car into Frank's service station in the outback it sets off a life and death situation with other characters who find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
What has she seen and done?
There are those who want her at whatever cost.
Bergmoser's "now and then" chapters give a very powerful and visual concept - Gina (QBD)

A dark and menacing thriller fantastically crafted. Similar to "Wolf Creek" or "Cabin at the end of the world". A young woman turns up at an aussie outback roadhouse with near deadly injuries, running from men who believe she has done them wrong. The roadhouse owner tries to protect her but has no idea of the horrors she is running from. Fast paced & electrifying. Finished it in one day! - Tricia (QBD)

Readers beware: This book is unputdownable! I was absolutely consumed by the sheer tension and suspense of this Wolf Creek-style thriller. Set in the isolated outback, Frank and his granddaughter are thrown into the path of danger when a woman, covered in blood, stumbles into his roadhouse. But she doesn't come alone. Someone is after her. And now it seems that they too will become: The Hunted. - Alyssa (QBD)

This book is bustling full of daunting action and sharp thrills; the very kind that unveil the nauseating misogyny that lurks beneath the revered Australian larrikanism. Bergomoser poignantly typifies the ugliness of masculine assertion when his characters are sucked into an insidious all-male hunt. Their refusal to be reduced to victims of male violence begs the question: How will they survive? - Brandon (QBD)

Menacing. Gripping. Fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat, unputdownable. This is the most compelling novel I've read this year, but I beseech you - do not read The Hunted before bed.

The Hunted is a blazing-hot thriller that is equal parts Hollywood action movie and the creeping dread that only comes from a land so vast and empty.
