What to expect

Dawn Prentice was already known to the Peterborough Hate Crimes Unit.

The previous summer she had logged a number of calls detailing the harassment she and her severely disabled teenage daughter were undergoing. Now she is dead – stabbed to death whilst Holly Prentice has been left to starve upstairs. DS Ferreira, only recently back serving on the force after being severely injured in the line of duty, had met with Dawn that summer. Was she negligent in not taking Dawn’s accusations more seriously? Did the murderer even know that Holly was helpless upstairs while her mother bled to death?

Whilst Ferreira battles her demons, determined to prove she’s up to the frontline, DI Zigic is drawn into conflict with an official seemingly resolved to hide the truth about one of his main suspects. Can either officer unpick the truth about mother and daughter, and bring their killer to justice?

Critics Review

Elegantly crafted, humane and thought-provoking. She’s top drawer

Ian Rankin

So fluid and easy to read, and her characters are becoming like old friends now

James Oswald, bestselling author of the Inspector Maclean series

Excellent… a masterfully written whodunnit… Eva Dolan has positioned herself firmly at the top table of contemporary British crime writers.

A thoughtful and contemporary thriller

Sunday Mirror

The authority of Dolan’s writing grows from book to book

Financial Times

[Dolan] is able to tackle sensitive subjects without sensationalism

Sunday Times, Crime Book of the Month

One to watch for as missing this would be a crime. … I tend not to ‘score’ the majority of my reviews but I do like to flag titles I will rank at 5/5 – After You Die joins that small band of my top rated reads

GrabThisBook.net

Intelligent and deeply compassionate, shot through with sly humour and never failing to be anything but totally gripping, AFTER YOU DIE is a superb new entry in the DI Zigic and DS Ferreira series that confirms Dolan as one of crime fiction’s brightest rising stars

Chris Ewan, author of #1 bestseller, Safe House

Eva Dolan’s brilliant Zigic and Ferreira are back. Expect twists, shocks and above all – searing honesty from a writer with an uncanny eye for the truth of what ails us

Sarah Hilary, winner of the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year for Someone Else's Skin

Another superlative thriller from Eva Dolan. Zigic and Ferreira are fast becoming one of my favourite crime-fighting duos
