Helen FitzGerald - Worst Case Scenario (2nd Hand Paperback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9781912374694
Synopsis
Shortlisted for the Theakston Old Peculiar Crime Novel of The Year 2020.
A deliciously dark, unapologetically funny, and nail-bitingly tense psychological thriller by the international bestselling author of The Cry.
Mary Shields is a moody, acerbic probation offer, dealing with some of Glasgow's worst cases, and her job is on the line. Liam Macdowall was imprisoned for murdering his wife, and he's published a series of letters to the dead woman, in a book that makes him an unlikely hero - and a poster boy for Men's Rights activists.
Liam is released on licence into Mary's care, but things are far from simple. Mary develops a poisonous obsession with Liam and his world, and when her son and Liam's daughter form a relationship, Mary will stop at nothing to impose her own brand of justice . . . with devastating consequences.
A heart-pounding, relentless and chilling psychological thriller, rich with deliciously dark and unapologetic humour, Worst Case Scenario is also a perceptive, tragic and hugely relevant book by one of the most exciting names in crime fiction.

'The main character is one of the most extraordinary you'll meet between the pages of a book.' - Ian Rankin.
'Outrageous, extremely funny and ultimately devastating.' - Ambrose Parry.
'A scandalously rude comic masterpiece.' - Daily Telegraph.
