WHAT HIDDEN LIES
Book ID/图书代码： 05430012B57473
English Summary/英文概要： Detective Persephone ‘Persy’ Jonas and gang-lord Sean Dollery grew up as childhood friends in the streets of one of Cape Town’s most infamous ghettos. But since Persy’s been assigned to the local police station, she’s made it her mission to break Sean’s
criminal stranglehold on the neighbourhood.
When Andrew Sherwood, a former patient of retired criminologist Dr. Marge Labuschagne washes up dead on the beach, Persy finds evidence with which to nail Sean for good. But annoyingly, the cantankerous and reclusive Marge, has other ideas. She has
her own suspects, and is driven to solve the case as a form of atonement for her past role in the tragic suicide of a wrongly accused man.
The women are at loggerheads and their antagonism threatens to derail the investigation. Yet they have more in common than they think, bound in ways they cannot imagine.
Traversing the violent gang ridden townships and the wealthy seaside resorts of beautiful Cape Town, the investigation unearths long hidden lies that expose both women to violence and death. As they close in on the killer, the truth about Marge’s earlier investigation is revealed, forcing Persy into a shattering confrontation with her childhood past.
