Publisher's Synopsis
NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND, 1995:
When twenty-three-year-old Andy Cooper returns home from Wembley with his dad, he discovers that his mum has died suddenly. In the aftermath, grief gives way to blame and Andy becomes the target.
As his dad retreats into drink and their home life deteriorates, Andy is left isolated and searching for a way forward.
A chance encounter in his local betting shop offers an unexpected opportunity - one that draws him into the world of horse racing and the risks that come with it.
But as the stakes rise, so do the consequences.
Set against the backdrop of 1990s Nottingham, Shouting The Odds is a story of grief, family conflict and the choices we make when trying to escape our pasts.
Because some risks cost more than money.
