Описание книги

The nude body of a man is discovered entombed in the walls of Split Point Lighthouse on the south-east coast of Australia. Inspector Bonaparte wonders why a coffin is moved at night, who was the girl struggling with Dick Lake on the cliff tops, and what caused the Bully Buccaneers to deal in death. An ordinary policeman could afford to fail, but Bony, never…<br /> <br /><i>The story takes place at Split Point, 80 miles between Anglesea and Lorne… The story is enlivened – and made more stark by contrast – by a series of Dickensian characters who are unexcelled in Upfield and perhaps elsewhere as well. Despite the solemnity of the occasion for the visit, Upfield maintains a kind of corpse-like humour which is very amusing… The whole book is first-class Upfield and first-class crime fiction.</i> – from <i>The Spirit of Australia</i> by Ray Browne

Bony crossed the bridge and proceeded a farther half-mile, when he decided to return to the fire promised by Mrs Washfold. He was now high above the Inlet, and far away were the three red stars of the distant road lights.

This road was never straight and, even in the dark, never the same. From the top of an electric power pole a mopoke “Ma-parked” at him as he passed, and later still a curlew screamed like a kurdaitcha spirit is alleged to do when after an aborigine away from his camp at night.
