In the Heart of Darkness

By Malose Nyatlo

This is a crime thriller about Zachariah Mthembu, a man who had led a comfortable lifestyle in the western suburb of the capital city of South Africa. He was happily married, had a young son and a working wife, and kept a good job.
Until Captain Blom of the Brixton Murder and Robbery squad came knocking on his front door, Zakes, as he was known by friends in the underworld, had enjoyed life to the fullest.
The visit by the senior cop unleashed a chain of events which led to his arrest and conviction on murder charges.
His woes multiplied when his teacher wife was gunned down in front of their home and whilst he sat in jail serving a long term, and in his moment of distress he entrusted his fate in the hands of his drifter brother Big-Moss, crooked prison manager known as The General and the restless prison warder-turned lover named Nomonde.

From the pen of the author of "The Harvest of my Times", "In the Heart of Darkness" is a story of ordinary men and women who came to South Africa's cities from rural areas to make a living, to survive. It is a story of courage, pain, greed, and power
