Hitched (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645748048)

From author Jack Adams - 'Hitched' - a psychological thriller series featuring childhood friends - psychologist Adam Murphy and private investigator Nate Delaney, who learn that the mysteries of childhood can have wider impacts than ever imagined.

Twelve-year-old Adam Murphy didn't know anyone who had died, nor did his best friend, Nate Delaney. They were two boys from opposite sides of the track and firm friends. Nate lived in a modest house in the new Riverlink Estate and went to public school. His dad worked in sales, his mother baked cakes for the school fete, and Nate was the centre of their world.

Adam Murphy lived on the rich side of the estate with a jetty and water access and went to a private college. His media mogul father also managed the career of Adam's model mother, Winsome-the IT girl. They spent their days interstate, leaving Adam in the care of his eccentric widow grandmother, Audrey, who lived on the property.

Outside of school hours, the two boys spent their days at the creek, climbing trees, fishing, and riding on their bikes. While testing new speedometers on their Malvern Star bikes, the pair witnessed beautiful Holly Castle, 16, hitch a ride to Sydney seeking fame and was never seen again. Presumed dead.

Now... Twenty years later, Adam's model mother, the IT Girl Winsome Keeley, gets hitched to the nation's favourite singer, Jack Bernham, and the official photographer-Eric Castle-recognises Nate from their school years. The younger brother of the missing girl is still pursuing his sister's cold case.

Adam and Nate are invited to take a ride.
