Abstract
dc:description.abstract'What Hidden Lies' can be read as a straightforward genre novel conforming to the conventions of the murder mystery form, with a tightly constructed plot involving a police investigation, a range of suspects, planted clues, red herrings and a surprise ending. But the novel also seeks to use this accessible literary form to examine deeper issues, such as the formative influences of time and place upon the characters, especially as they pertain to the historical legacy of crime, dispossession of land and racial identity.
