What is Long Lies the Shadow about?
In Cape Town, Gin survives a car crash that kills her lover Simon. Detective Nick Retief suspects it is not an accident. Gin returns to London to discover she is pregnant with Simon's child. Her emotional recovery is hampered by partial amnesia about the crash, and she turns to a childhood friend for help. Gin must cope alone with the birth of her baby, and she is forced to face the ghosts that haunt her, and deal with the consequences of lies told and secrets kept. The truth behind her brother Gabe's death is gradually revealed, as events lead towards a final confrontation and a shocking conclusion. Moving between South Africa and London, the past and the present, this beautifully written and many-layered story reveals the damage wrought during the apartheid era and how its legacy continues to affect people's lives today
