Slight tanning but text is clean and unmarked. A nice copy. "Two men are killed by cyanide poisoning before Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte comes to Broken Hill to take up the case, and a third dies soon after he arrives. All die in crowded public places, and all are elderly and single. Witnesses recall a woman being near each man before he died, but their descriptions seem to be of entirely different women. "Clues are old and witnesses have been mishandled by an inept investigator before Bony arrives in the prosperous mining town, but with the help of the local constabulary, a professional burglar vacationing in Broken Hill, and an amateur quick-sketch artist, Inspector Bonaparte mounts an investigation to try to identify the murderer before she finds another victim.

Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Good. Fourth Printing. Spine a bit slanted, a little edge wear and rubbing, interior clean and unmarked. About a third of pages are wavy, presumably from damp. Overall a nice copy. The naked body of a man is discovered entombed in the wall of the Split Point Lighthouse on Australia's southeast coat; the murder is two months old, and the identity of the victim is unknown. Of Split Point's suspicious inhabitants, only Ed Penwarden, the coffin-maker, befriends Bony upon his arrival. As he delves into the case, Bony is curious to know why a coffin is moved in the night, who was the girl seen struggling with Dick Lake on the cliff top - and why the Bully Buccaneers came to deal in death.

Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Very Good-. Fifth Printing. Spine slightly slanted and creased, a little edge wear and rubbing. A nice copy. ; Napoleon Bonaparte; 6¾" - 7¾" Tall; 216 pages; "This new adventure of Inspector Napoleon (Bony) Bonaparte happens on the edge of the desert in Western Australia; it deals with a corpse in a meteor crater and with vital information hidden behind the impassive mask of an aboriginal tribe, where only the half-black Bony has any hope of reaching it. The interplay between whites and blacks, from assimilated to wholly wild, is subtly and sensitively handled, and Bony emerges as one of the rare detective figures with genuine stature as a man. As in most Upfield novels, the geography, the geology and the cultural anthropology of Australia are living elements in the story.". Illustrated by Bacon, Paul (cover) (illustrator).…

How then did someone murder Broome's two most attractive widows and get away without leaving a clue? "Bony arrived in Broome just after two well-to-do widows had been brutally strangled. The local police were short of help and completely stymied by a murderer who carefully left no clues. Bony pressed into service a Mr. Dickenson who combined the qualities of a gentleman, a scholar, and the town drunk. "Then another widow was killed. But this time the murderer was just a little bit careless. Bony added two footprints, a beer bottle that had petrol, a sound made by clicking teeth, three bundles of silk rags, and a passion for tidiness, and came up with a composite picture of the murderer. "Then Bony staged a trap with the fourth widow as bait - and the stage was set to nab a vicious killer!". Illustrated by Bacon, Paul (cover) (illustrator).…
