A taut and unsparing novel about a community plagued by violence, drugs, corruption, and prejudice—but where love and justice prevail.

The unidentifiable remains of a body are discovered in a field in Shadow Heights, a neighbourhood on the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa. Ley, the youngest detective at her precinct, is assigned the case. Soon after, Ley receives a phone call saying that Carl, a friend struggling with a meth addiction, has gone missing after being linked to the Drug King of Shadow Heights. Meanwhile, a local church group believe they are cleansing the area by burning sinners, starting with homosexuals.

The search for Carl leads the reader through the vibrant lives of the residents of Shadow Heights to experience the problems plaguing the neighbourhood but also to feel the love and acceptance found among friends and family in the shadows of everyday life. A pioneering work of fiction in which the dispossessed tell their own stories, In the Shadows is a haunting yet hopeful novel that wrestles with the demons of a community where lives intersect through ruthless brutality, but the bonds between people lead to justice being done.

A page turning, gender and genre-bending novel set on the Cape Flats; a story of people who live in a place of violence which involves drugs, corrupt clergy, queerness, friendships - and how these survive in a society that is dysfunctional due to historical social problems; very much a novel of now, the 21st century.

A book that will change the literary landscape of this country.

Vreesloos gehoorsaam verwoord 'n goue draad wat deur Naude se hele loopbaan vleg en ook neerslag vind in sy preke, waarin hy dikwels sy gehoor oproep om "nie te vrees nie". Reeds in sy Inleiding eerste preek ('n Adventspreek in Desember 1939) neem hy as teksvers Lukas 2:10, waar ons die woorde van die engel lees: "Moenie vrees nie, want kyk, ek bring julle 'n goeie tyding van groot blydskap wat vir die hele volk sal wees." En in 1960, 'n waterskeidingsjaar in Naude se lewe, die jaar van die sluipmoordaanslag op doktor Verwoerd, die Cottesloe-beraad en die gewelddadige en noodlottige Sharpevilleopstand teen die gehate paswette, sluit hy 'n preek oor die tema "Gehoorsaam – Aan wie?" met die volgende persoonlike getuienis af: "[E]k het 'n vader gehad wat ons as sy kinders geleer het dat die mens sy grootste gehoorsaamheid altyd aan God verskuldig is: 'n gehoorsaamheid wat getuig moet word aan Sy Woord. 'Wie Gods Woord gehoorsaam, hoef niks te vrees nie' ".
