An intriguing case for Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte begins on a calm
October day in an Australian seaside town. Three men set out to sea for a day's
fishing, and do not return. Despite intensive searches, no trace of the
men or their boat is found, until, weeks later, a passing trawler hauls in a gruesome
catch - the head of one of the missing fishermen. It is quite clear that it's
owner was murdered with a pistol bullet. But by whom, and why, is for Bony to
find out. |
