Myra Thomas, an acquitted murderess, appears to have walked off the train somewhere
along the four hundred miles of track that cross the Nullarbor Plain in Southern
Australia; and Detective Inspector Bonaparte, the only policeman capable of coping
with such country, is out looking for her. With two camels and a dog for
company, Bony searches for a clue. |
| He finds a missing
woman and a dead man; he finds a murderess and five murderers, he lands in prison
in the middle of thousands of miles of uninhabitable desert. The Terrain,
characters, and dangers are described by an acknowledged master of the Australian
scene - this is 'vintage' Upfield. Taken from the 1960 Penguin Edition. |  |
