Description
Meet the roommates from hell
On her first shift at a halfway house for violent offenders in Edinburgh - the only job she could get - rebounding Australian expat Lou is taken hostage. For nine long hours, the only people who can help her are the residents. But who can Lou trust? The mum-and-dad-killer, the elderly legless rockstar paedophile, the stammering suicide chat room guy, or the Armani-suited conman?
Slick, darkly funny and nerve-janglingly tense, Halfway House is a breathtaking thriller and an unapologetic reminder: never corner a desperate woman.
A genius combination of horror, humour and humanity - Ber Carroll

Advance Praise
'A genius combination of horror, humour and humanity.' – Ber Carroll
'A genius combination of horror, humour and humanity.' – Ber Carroll
Marketing Plan
- Helen has a strong and ever-growing fan base in Australia (especially following the huge success of TV series The Cry on ABC)
- Follows on from the success of Ash Mountain, the first of Helen's novels published in Australia by Affirm Press and also being made into a TV series
- Like all Helen's novels, this one is as hilarious as it is dark and shocking, with a particularly Australian brand of black humour
- Helen is a media darling and will get plenty of coverage, especially throughout ABC (her primary book-buying audience)
