There’s a hippie on the highway- James Hadley Chase



Harry Mitchell, after serving his three years in Vietnam, visits Paradise City for a vacation before taking up a job in New York.
En route to Paradise City, Harry saves Randy (also a traveler) from a bunch of hippies. Randy feels greatful and promises to get Harry a job as a life guard in a sea side restaurant. While travelling together, they fall into a trap where they’re planted with a corpse of an old guy. But Harry and Randy find a safe place and ingeniously dispose the body. They reach their destinations and life seems normal for a few days. But soon, Paradise City Police Force suspect something’s wrong and start digging.
In the end, when the adventure is over, Harry is overwhelmed by the amount of violence he’s faced and wonders how his future would turn out to be.
