By a lonely roadside in the south-west corner of Western Australia, old-timer
Karl Mueller is roused from his drink-sodden sleep by approaching footsteps and
the sound of whistling.
What he sees on waking (or thinks he sees) is enough
to make him stiffen with fear, and more than enough to worry the police into calling
for Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte.
The disturber of Mueller's rest is Marving Rhudder - once an upstanding theological
student, now a convicted rapist and basher, a bloody savage whose recapture will
put all of Bony's sleuthing and tracking skills to the test.
