Bony and the Kelly Gang

Also published as
Valley of the Smugglers

1960

Tucked away in the mountains of New South Wales is Cork Valley, inhabited by hard drinking Irishmen.

Here, an excise officer looking for illicit 'stills' has been murdered, and it's Bony's job to find the killer.

Disguised as a horse-thief and gaol-breaker, the famous half-aborigine detective hitch-hikes into the valley.

But before he can spring the trap, Bony develops a strong affection for these lawless, lusty characters.

Taken from the 1963 Pan edition
