A
society and its upstanding social and religious mores are called into question
following one man’s discovery of his wife’s infidelity and the terrible drama
that follows.
In the small town of Nyanga, on Zimbabwe’s boarder with Mozambique,
Titus is devastated to learn that his wife Samantha has been leading a double
life, with a secret second husband. To compound his grief, Titus learns that two
of the four children he has lovingly raised are not his. As Samantha retreats in
shame to her parent’s home, Titus resolves to seek the truth and understand for
himself just what went wrong in his marriage. He finds some comfort in the
supportive words of a stranger, Nhau, whose own marriage failed due to his
wife’s money-grubbing ways.
That afternoon, as the two men are engrossed in discussion, picking
over the remains of their family affairs, they are offered sage advice by yet
another benevolent stranger, Tongai, a police inspector. Over time, a bond will
form between the three men and Tongai will urgently need them to return his
favour, and help him with a bloody investigation.
When one of Tongai’s officers is shot dead and two others are
brutally attacked, the Detective Chief Inspector is called to uncover the truth
behind the assaults. Dangerous love triangles would at first appear to be at the
heart of the matter. But as Tongai’s astute investigation develops, he realises
that he is working within a society that’s rotten to the core, belegeured by
robbery, rape, police corruption, sexual abuse, ritual killings, homelessness
and the exploitation of the weak and vulnerable. To break through the cobweb of
crimes, Tongai realizes he can only rely on his new allies, Nhau and Titus, to
provide the most important clues needed to bring about justice.
Inspired by real life events Thou shall not be
caught! is a powerfully moving and deeply insightful exploration of the
multifarious nature of a society. Intelligent and commanding, the
novel
is a must-read, especially for those with an interest in African
culture.
