The Will of the Tribe (An Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte Mystery)

Spine slightly slanted and creased, a little edge wear and rubbing. A nice copy. ; Napoleon Bonaparte; 6" - 7" Tall; 216 pages; "This new adventure of Inspector Napoleon (Bony) Bonaparte happens on the edge of the desert in Western Australia; it deals with a corpse in a meteor crater and with vital information hidden behind the impassive mask of an aboriginal tribe, where only the half-black Bony has any hope of reaching it. The interplay between whites and blacks, from assimilated to wholly wild, is subtly and sensitively handled, and Bony emerges as one of the rare detective figures with genuine stature as a man. As in most Upfield novels, the geography, the geology and the cultural anthropology of Australia are living elements in the story."
