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.

Two men are kicked to death in brutal attacks. Caught on CCTV, the murderer hides his face - but raises a Nazi salute. In a town riddled with racial tension, Detectives Zigic and Ferreira from the Hate Crimes Unit are under pressure to find the killer.

Two men are kicked to death in brutal attacks.

Caught on CCTV, the murderer hides his face – but raises a Nazi salute.


In a town riddled with racial tension, Detectives Zigic and Ferreira from the Hate Crimes Unit are under pressure to find the killer.

But when a car ploughs into a bus stop early one morning, the Detectives have another case on their hands, and soon the media are hounding them for answers.

Riots break out, the leader of right-wing party steps into the spotlight, and Zigic and Ferreira must act fast – before more violence erupts.

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 off 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 *
