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.

Industry Reviews

‘It takes a special kind of evil genius to write crime this dark and make it this funny. I feel like only Helen FitzGerald could have created this book. Shocking, gripping and laugh-out-loud hilarious from the first line to the last. Brilliant’
Erin Kelly

‘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

‘Dark humour and darker truths permeate a thrilling crime novel that is fabulously transgressive and completely unique. The best-case scenario would be her next novel in my hands right now, because nobody writes like Helen Fitzgerald’
Mark Billingham
