Bony and the Black Virgin / The Torn Branch for sale
see below - email me for details
Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, the half-aborigine detective, arrives
in the drought-stricken outback of New South Wales.
At a desolate sheep station, two men have been savagely beaten
to death.
Clues are scarce in this sun-baked, sand blown country, but Bony's
understanding of the bush and the people who live there - both black
and white - leads him inexorably to the killer.
As rain floods the parched land, Bony's premonition of disaster
is tragically fulfilled.
