The Bone is Pointed
1938
|
 |
 |
"Jeffery Anderson was a big man with a foul temper
- a sadist, and an ugly drunk.
When his horse, The Black Emperor, an animal as mean
as its owner, came home riderless, no-one cared.
And no-one cared when no trace of the man could be
found.
|
|
But five months later, Detective Inspector Napoleon
Bonaparte is calling - and he is determined to solve
the mystery.
With his usual tenacity, he takes up the cold trail.
|
 |
 |
What had happened to Anderson, to his hat, to his stock
whip, to the horse's neck rope?
Bony must rely on his eyes and his wits to help him
find the answers, for the local inhabitants, both black
and white, arekeeping their own secrets.
