Description


On her first shift at an Edinburgh halfway house for violent offenders, a young woman is taken hostage ... and that's just the beginning... The twisty, shocking, darkly funny thriller by award-winning author Helen FitzGerald.

A new novel from Helen Fitzgerald is always a major event ... magnificent Mark Billingham

Outrageous, hilarious and dark as hell - this is Helen FitzGerald on absolute top form Doug Johnstone

[Lou] is irresistible and very funny ... The set-up is fascinating, the narrative is both fast-moving and convincing Literary Review

They re the housemates from Hell...

When her disastrous Australian love affair ends, Lou O Dowd heads to Edinburgh for a fresh start, moving in with her cousin, and preparing for the only job she can find ... working at a halfway house for very high-risk offenders.

Two killers, a celebrity paedophile and a paranoid coke dealer - all out on parole and all sharing their outwardly elegant Edinburgh townhouse with rookie night-worker Lou...

And instead of finding some meaning and purpose to her life, she finds herself trapped in a terrifying game of cat and mouse where she stands to lose everything - including her life.

Slick, darkly funny and nerve-janglingly tense, Halfway House is both a breathtaking thriller and an unapologetic reminder never to corner a desperate woman...
