“No white man would have noticed the small detail in the background of a police photograph of an abandoned car in outback scrub country near the scene of the crime.  But what Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, the aboriginal detective, saw there, told him that this was murder… Who killed Luke Marks? Dot and Dash the dingo-trappers? Moongalliti, the witch-doctor? The beautiful Marion Stanton? Somewhere in the sands of Windee lay the answers to these questions… And why did the infallible Bony in the end report to Headquarters that he had failed to solve the case?”
