Fiction

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, The Halfway House is both a breathtaking thriller and an unapologetic reminder never to corner a desperate woman …
