The police never notice the small detail in the background of a police photograph of an abandoned car. A detail that tells Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte plainly that the mysterious disappearance of Luke Marks near Windee Station is anything but accidental. Why had Luke Marks driven specially out to Windee? Had he been murdered or had he, as the local police believed, wandered away from his car and been overwhelmed in a dust-storm? Bony feels the answers lie somewhere in the sands of Windee.©1931 Bonaparte Holdings Pty Ltd. Published in association with ETT Imprint (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Mystery Fiction

Another detective story from the Australian bush.
This book is great, and the plot is fine. By all means: Read it!

Once more Bony is great

Excellent early part of the Boney series. Wonderfully evocative of the age, and if you can delay looking things up until AFTER you've heard the book, a fascinating real-life parallel in Australian crime.

Brilliant
