The Author

Arthur William Upfield (1 September 1890 – 13 February 1964) was an Australian writer, best known for his works of detective fiction featuring Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte ('Bony') of the Queensland Police Force, an indigenous man of mixed race.

Born in England, Upfield moved to Australia in 1910 and fought with the Australian military during the First World War.

Following his war service, he travelled extensively throughout Australia, obtaining a knowledge of Australian Aboriginal culture that would later be used extensively in his written works.

In addition to his detective fiction, Upfield was also a member of the Australian Geological Society and was involved in numerous scientific expeditions.

Upfield's works remained popular after his death, and in the 1970s were the basis for an Australian television series entitled "Boney".

Synopsis

An Insepctor Napoleon Bonaparte Mystery ...

If any man was ever born to be murdered, that man was William Lush ‒ a hated drunk, who disappeared after beating his wife to death.

Plenty of men had the opportunity to murder Lush, some had the means, none the motive ‒ even considering that all who knew Lush detested him. Jill Madden, his pretty step-daughter, had all three.

But first, Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte has to be sure Lush is really dead.

With the Darling River rising to flood levels, the incomparable investigator must look for a body ‒ and if he finds that, then a murderer as well.
