About this audiobook

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 Marvin Rhudder - once an upstanding theological student, now a convicted rapist and basher and a bloody savage whose recapture will put all of Bony's sleuthing and tracking skills to the test.

About the author

Arthur W. Upfield (1890–1964) wrote twenty-nine Bony mystery stories between 1929 and 1962, as well as several other books including mysteries, romances, and an autobiography. Arthur W. Upfield was born in England, but moved to Australia and adopted it as his homeland. He travelled throughout the country and tried his hand at many trades, including boundary rider and station hand. His travels lent him a wealth of first-hand experiences that make his books fascinating and believable. He captures the majesty of Australia, especially the outback country, and its people.
