Publisher's Summary

The discovery of the stolen red monoplane on the dry, flat bottom of Emu Lake meant many things to many people. For Elizabeth Nettlefold, the chance to nurse its strangely ill passenger meant a new purpose in life. For Dr Knowles, brilliant physician and town drunk, it meant the revival of a romantic dream. For a person or persons unknown, it meant a murder plan gone badly awry. And for Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, it meant one of the toughest cases of his career.

What the critics say

"Arthur Upfield has an extraordinary gift. He has created a character, the half-caste Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, who steps alive off the page." ( The Times)
"Bony - a unique figure among top-flight detectives." (BBC)

wonderful compelling story

1930-40 Australian live may not be something of hot intrest to people today. If you enjoy a good detective novel. with one of the most unknown obscure, yet a great detective. Equal to Holmes yet very individual.

the Narrator is truly magnificent have a voice as smooth and soothing as Morgan Freeman.

thankyou all from author to narrator and all the nameless people in between for the great work
