About this listen

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?

Critic reviews

Powerful...Once again, Dolan writes brilliantly about the liminal existence of migrant workers, and the political subplot is bang up-to-date (Joan Smith)
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
A very savvy and ultra-modern storyline that is frightening in its believability (Doug Johnstone)
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)
Peterborough as a setting for edgy crime fiction? An unlikely proposition, but Dolan pulled it off (Barry Forshaw)
Tell No Tales is authentically grimy and politically astute (Selina Hastings)
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
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)
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)
Gripping, gritty and satisfying
All stars
Most relevant
Did not live up to expections. I felt no connection with any of the characters and it was more by luck than good management that the cops eventually sussed who was responsible.

Won't be rushing to listen to anything else by this author, although can't fault the narrator's performance.

Unsatisfying
