Roger is about to pull the trigger. But then decides to forgive himself. Temporarily at least.

Acting so far outside the law that he’s as much a criminal as those he pursues, SOCO Roger Conniston chooses a name from a list of Hades’ gang members. That name is Jess.

A few miles away, a killer reads a name on his latest instruction. That name is Roger Conniston, and that killer is very good at his job. His name is Jess.

But taking retribution isn’t as straightforward as either man hoped. Someone else has his finger in the killing pie, and he wants them both dead.

When fighting a killer becomes a battle for revenge – this is No More Tears

If you like fast-paced crime thrillers with a forensic slant, raw emotions, and characters that reach out of the book and grab you by the throat, you’ll love Andrew Barrett’s Roger Conniston series. To experience Roger's battle against top criminals, buy No More Tears today.

    This fantastic book is the third in Andrew Barrett's 'Dead' trilogy. Not for the squeamish, it includes corpses, maimings, bent coppers and murderous ambition but also love, loyalty and steadfast friendship. The author brilliantly describes the raging hollowness of bereavement and the surging anger of the longing for revenge. The leading character in the series is a Scene of Crime Officer, the author's own profession, so the work carries conviction and authenticity. There's dark humour here and a deep understanding of human nature.

    The writing is powerful, the dialogue gritty and uncompromising. This book has everything you could want from the crime/thriller genre and is a fitting climax to an unforgettable trilogy. I am very impressed with Andrew Barrett's work and will make sure I read more of it. Excellent!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Enthralling and never boring
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 April 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This book picks up almost exactly where the previous one in the serious finishes. A man who is virtually out of his mind in grief vows to find and kill the person who created that grief, and is careless enough to repeat it in company he had no business being in, let alone saying those sort of things to. This creates a whole lot of trouble for the man, and draws several other people into all kinds of problems.

    This book explores the psychological issues faced by those involved in a fatal incident, even those who are used to dealing with violent death, but not in any clinical manner. It affects different people in differing ways, for some it is coming to terms with the loss of a loved one and with guilt and their inability to keep them safe. For others there is simply the feeling of failure, and yet others are afraid of the consequences of their actions which led directly or indirectly to the outcome. Those who feel guilty seek to take actions to rectify their shortcomings whilst those who should feel guilty seek to justify their actions and shift the blame onto other shoulders. Throw an ambitious and unscrupulous woman into the mix and we have a cracking storyline. That isn't enough of a mix for this author however, we have a few criminals left desperate by the failure of their last venture, forced together by circumstance but unable to trust each other. The numbers gradually diminish as the story progresses and we are ultimately left with the most desperate of them, but there is a stranger looking for two people and you just know that when he finds them it isn't going to be a social occasion. The tension is built gradually through several different scenarios, we don't stay at any one scene for too long. For me that really was not a problem as I found that it worked well to slip from a potentially dangerous situation to an entirely different one, and then when we came back to the first situation it packed more of a punch because it was a sudden reminder of the nature of the peril.

    Roger Conniston is something of a superhero - as he is recovering from a serious knee injury (incredibly painful) he takes on a whole new investigation, he gets himself into, and out of, impossible situations. He has to walk into a situation where he knows that in the normal course of events, he cannot come out of it alive, but to refuse to do so will cause another death. He has to fight his way out of more situations than a man in his condition (or any condition) really should. When he faces his nemesis, he finds reserves of courage and strength he obviously didn't know he had. Although part of your head is telling you that Roger is the protagonist and therefore he HAS to survive, part of you is constantly wondering how he can. I can't help but feel sorry for Roger, whatever his failings, he really doesn't deserve the rubbish life has thrown at him. He just wants to get on and do his job, he's not desperately ambitious, he doesn't normally go looking for trouble but it certainly seems to come looking for him and in this book, one of his troubles bears a very familiar name.

    Although the scene of crime work isn't quite as prominent in this book as it was in the previous ones, it is still the framework on which the story hangs, and the author neatly points up the differences between good and bad SOCO work without lecturing or giving a Forensics 101. I liked the detail given in this regard, and particularly at a gruesome scene where someone has gone to great trouble to hinder proper identification of the body, not only detailing the difference between a fastidious approach to crime scene management and a desire to make a hasty job of it and then try to make the evidence fit the theory, but then showing how this affected relationships in the team.

    This is another well presented story with many facets, which will in turn repel (because of the thoroughly reprehensible characters involved) and enthrall but will never bore the reader.

    What a compelling, addictive and captivating read. After reading the first two books in this trilogy I was eager to read on. Roger Conniston is a heart broken man. He has been physically and emotionally broken and wonders if he has the strength to carry on. He never would have believed in his early years as a SOCO that his life would turn out the way it has. He loved his job. Loved his wife. But since his promotion his life has been turned upside down and inside out by a sequence of events out of his hands. This final book is as gritty and breath taking as the first two...and quite emotional. Andrew Barrett is a fantastic writer with an exceptional talent for drawing you into the book immediately and keeping you hooked until the very last page. Not read anything less than a five start rating from him yet. Highly recommended.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 January 2020

    This is the final book in the Dead Trilogy featuring Roger Conniston, following on from A Long Time Dead and Stealing Elgar. So it's pretty important to have read those two (in that order) before embarking on this book.
    If you've got this far you'll know what you're letting yourself in for with regard to the author's style and attention to detail. How the focus is very much on the forensic side of things; no surprise there being as the author is a CSI himself. Also his penchant for internal dialogue and witty asides that pepper the narrative throughout, sometimes adding a little spice into the mix and complementing the intricately plotted story being told.
    This final instalment completes the story. It ties up all the threads nicely and we learn what the fates have in store for all our main players. It's the endgame and checkmate to the game of chess that the author has taken us through throughout the previous books.
    All that's left for me to say now is that, if you enjoyed this trilogy, I would also very much recommend the author's Eddie Collins series of books if you haven't already indulged.

    So this was the third and final instalment, I found it as well written as the first two but for me it was not as enjoyable. That said there were some good characters introduced, a twist here and there, and some people I thought would reappear were never mentioned again.

    I would have preferred if the book stuck more to the factual side of how SOCO's work helps to solve crimes but will not put me off reading the authors new work featuring Eddie Collins.

    I have just finished the trilogy “Long time dead” “Stealing Edgar” and “No more tears” I read them consecutively and I have seldom read such an exciting and fast paced trilogy. I'll leave others to fill you in on the plot's.
    The characters were believable and very human. I found it difficult to put these books down, so be warned, they are so well written and pacey that you will be burning the midnight oil as I have done.

    5.0 out of 5 stars “I’m a sitting duck.”
    Reviewed in Canada on 7 December 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Reader advisory: A bit like Stieg Larsson’s third millennium novel – “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” – which began a few minutes after the conclusion to “The Girl Who Played With Fire” - “No More Tears” follows a couple of weeks after the previous Roger Conniston novel “Stealing Elgar”. If you have not previously read Stealing Elgar, you will be confronted with flashback scenes, general references to previous events, and several villains still on the loose. This will likely rob you of some of the appreciation for this dark, tension-laced, and action-packed thriller.
    Roger Conniston fights for his life, as well as his sanity. Officially denied the chance of being part of the investigation of the Bank of England robbery that cost over 70 lives through explosions and gunfire, (and also factored into the death of his wife) with several of his superiors in his chain-of-command plotting to either see him discredited, or even jailed, Roger has never before been so vulnerable.
    The Roger Conniston, (SOCO), and the Eddie Collins (CSI) series have represented the best British crime writing I have encountered in the last ten years.
    For another author who writes superior novels in a similar venue, try, Will Patching.

    This book wraps everything up nicely. It is well written with intense detail which for some could be a little too graphic. It really built and completed the characters so you had empathy for all in some way or another. The author allowed you in and helped you understand each and every person. Loved it a turkey fitting end to a brilliant trilogy.

    Just when I didn’t think it was possible for Roger to get into any more trouble, he does. He’s on leave but is looking into things on his own. He finds something in his late wife’s drawer that shocks him and he has a violent, unstable individual targeting him and his close friends. Who is this guy and what does he have against Roger? The book begins with Roger in an emotionally dark place but he wants the culprits, so continues to poke around. Many characters are either attempting to hide from, tail, investigate or frame someone which means sneaking around is commonplace. The surprises keep coming right up to the very end. What a great book! Fantastic trilogy from start to finish.

    This series just got better and better and ended with a bang. This was a great book but you really have to read the first two to appreciate this one.
    One thing I really appreciated was the passages that had the thoughts of the characters which showed their feelings both good and bad. Internal arguments with themselves which showed how they came to the conclusions they did and the actions they took. I didn't want the series to end but it did end and at a good place but it came with sadness too.
    Now I am into the next series with Eddie Collins. I had read the 2 shorts which were amazing and then found that Roger's series came first.
    Now for some more sleep deprivation...ha ha thank you Andrew!! You do this to me with every book...
