Mary Shields is a moody, acerbic probation officer, 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.
