In the second book from a rising star of crime fiction, Detectives Zigic and Ferreira must investigate a hit-and-run that leaves two migrant workers dead and a series of horrific killings, seemingly with a Neo-Nazi motivation, captured on CCTV.

The car that ploughs into the bus stop early one morning leaves a trail of death and destruction behind it.

DS Ferreira and DI Zigic are called in from the Peterborough Hate Crimes Unit to handle the hit-and-run, but with another major case on their hands, one with disturbing Neo-Nazi overtones, they are relieved when there seems to be an obvious suspect. But the case isn't that simple and with tensions erupting in the town leading to more violence, the media are soon hounding them for answers.

Ferreira believes that local politician Richard Shotton, head of a recently established right-wing party, must be involved somehow. Journalists have been quick to acclaim Shotton, with his Brazilian wife and RAF career, as a serious contender for a major political career, despite his extremist views, but is his party a cover for something far more dangerous?

Praise for Tell No Tales

Fantastic... An utterly compelling crime novel that pierces the veil of social, racial and political issues in Britain today. I loved it

Steve Cavanagh, author of The Defence

Tell No Tales is a gripping insight into a rarely seen and highly relevant area of policing. Eva Dolan is fast becoming one of my favourite authors.

Emma Kavanagh, author of Falling

Tell No Tales is a powerful authentic, superbly written story, which proves that her brilliant début was no fluke. Eva Dolan is definitely the real deal

Howard Linskey

Powerful...Once again, Dolan writes brilliantly about the liminal existence of migrant workers, and the political subplot is bang up-to-date

Joan Smith, Sunday Times

A timely whodunit that takes a sophisticated slant on contemporary politics and the rise of the far right. Building to a breathlessly exciting finale, it’s beautifully written and superbly plotted, confirming Dolan’s status as an exciting new voice in fiction

Sunday Mirror

Dolan’s storytelling is even better than in her first novel, Long Way Home, which was a readers’ favourite in 2014…will have you turning the pages right to the end

5 Stars, Crime Fiction Lover

Gripping, gritty and satisfying

CrimeReaderBlog

Tell No Tales is authentically grimy and politically astute

Selina Hastings, Mail on Sunday

A very savvy and ultra-modern storyline that is frightening in its believability

Doug Johnstone, Big Issue

Eva Dolan is a newcomer to crime fiction, but she pulls off the entertainment-information balancing act with the skill of an old pro

Jake Kerridge, 4 stars, Daily Telegraph

Dolan has done it again, achieving something quite unlike the work of her contemporaries

Good Book Guide

Peterborough as a setting for edgy crime fiction? An unlikely proposition, but Dolan pulled it off

Barry Forshaw, Financial Times

Dolan writes brilliantly about the liminal existence of migrant workers and the political subplot is bang up-to-date.

Joan Smith, The Sunday Times

Gritty and atmospheric with well-drawn characters, Tell No Tales keeps you guessing until the end.

Charlotte Heathcote, Daily Express

An angry and unsparing snapshot of rootless, exploited lives.

Alison Graham, Radio Times
