Set in 1929, an international mystery classic featuring a half-indigenous, half-white detective tracking a murderer in the Australian wilderness.
When an indigenous Australian man is killed in the Barrakee Sheep Station in New South Wales, Det. Insp. Napoleon Bonaparte—a.k.a. Bony—is called in to investigate. Who better to solve a case that crosses cultural lines than a mixed-race cop able to rise above blood ties and divided class loyalties? With his gift for deductive reasoning and skillful tracking, Bony soon finds himself racing through bush country on a quest to catch a killer.
