Tell No Tales

Eva Dolan is an Essex-based copywriter and intermittently successful poker player. Shortlisted for the Crime Writers’ Association Dagger for unpublished authors when she was just a teenager, the first novels in her series starring two detectives from the Peterborough Hate Crimes Unit, Long Way Home and Tell No Tales were published to widespread critical acclaim. Tell No Tales was shortlisted for the Theakston's Crime Novel of the Year and the third in the series, After You Die, was longlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger.

"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 "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 of the entertainment-information balancing act with the skill of an old pro" -- Jake Kerridge, 4 stars Daily Telegraph "Peterborough as a setting for edgy crime fiction? An unlikely proposition, but Dolan pulled it off" -- Barry Forshaw Financial Times
