Hollins & Haring

Buddy detectives with a difference, an exiled Englishman and a prickly mother of two solving murders in a sleepy beach town....
A sleepy Australian beach town is his sanctuary. Until his life becomes a waking nightmare…

The message reads: ‘She’s fine. Wait till we call. No cops.’
Gary Hollins knows his girlfriend Kerry is not fine. She disappeared while driving his car, wearing his Charlton Athletic cap, and now his ute has been returned empty, the keys in the ignition.
People in Gary’s life don’t have a habit of turning up ‘fine’.Kerry thought her beach bum boyfriend was like any other exiled Englishman seeking sun, sand, and surf on the West Australian coast. But there are men who want him dead—if they ever find him.
Gary will do anything to avoid the cops discovering where he learned the deadly special forces skills he denies.
If he has to team up with Debbie Haring, a mother of two masquerading as a thrill-seeking private detective, he may not grin, but he’ll bear it.Until the kidnappers push him too far. Then he must decide if it’s worth breaking every promise he made to himself to settle the score…
Hollins & Haring have a film star politician to mind, a missing man to find, and that's before the bullets start flying...

Bell’s Landing's favourite son, Austin Gould, comes home to launch a political career.
Exiled Englishman Gary Hollins could care less.
Gould might be one of Australia’s most popular screen stars, but Gary’s never heard of him and he’s perfectly content hiding from a violent, squalid past behind a veneer of laziness, bad jokes and cheap beer.
Gould needs a bodyguard and his people ask for Gary by name.
So, his would-be boss and detecting partner from hell, Debbie Haring, makes Gary the most reluctant bodyguard in personal security history.
​When a sniper aiming for the star kills Gould’s beautiful partner, Gary’s forced to reveal his special forces talents again as Gary and Debbie unravel a bloody trail of intrigue to a final confrontation with a gunman who shoots to kill.
She trusts him with her life, but knows nothing about him…

​They’ve faced gunmen together. They’ve solved serious crimes. She even lets the man with the lethal special forces skills play with her kids. But Gary Hollins’ would-be boss Debbie Haring has no idea why he’s been hiding away in an Australian beachside caravan park for the last six months.
Then Debbie’s mum tests positive to the frightening new coronavirus, forcing them into quarantine together, and Gary has to make a choice. Watch Debbie slowly self-destruct from worry as her mum’s condition deteriorates or distract her with a story more terrifying than any virus. His story.
To help Debbie, Gary must find the strength to relive his journey from the SAS to a sinister secret government organisation and the deadly domestic terrorist cell that tore his loved ones from him.
But when the only person he trusts learns the truth about him, will it strengthen their bond or destroy it?
