Carnival

From author Jack Adams, the fifth book in the Delaney and Murphy psychological thriller series features childhood friends psychologist Adam Murphy and private investigator Nate Delaney, who learn that the mysteries of childhood can have wider impacts than ever imagined.

For twelve-year-old Adam Murphy and Nate Delaney, Dobrev's Carnival World was the best day out with its ghost train and dodgem cars, but not everyone felt the same. For decades, Carnival owner Rayco, and his wife Gerta the fortune teller, ran a successful business but as the new estate expanded, a resident group led by Alex Armstrong wanted it gone. Rayco had a dream to leave a lasting legacy and worked with Adam's grandmother, Audrey, with a view to giving the land to the community. His son, Gerry, has other plans and they didn't involve charity. Gerry threatened Audrey and Adam while they were visiting the Murphy vault in the cemetery, and when group leader Alex Armstrong was killed, the protest died away.

 Eighteen years later, the carnival is deserted, an eyesore for residents, and Rayco Dobrev is in aged care. His will leaves the land to the community on his death - the legacy he always wanted. But son, Gerry, claims that will happen over his dead body. When Alex Armstrong's daughter, now 26 and a law graduate, hires Nate to find out what really happened to her father all those years ago, someone is spooked and the threats begin.

 Adam and Nate are about to be frightened by the ghost train all over again.
