Description: Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte is on leave, staying with an old friend near Adelaide. Ben Wickham, a meteorologist whose uncannily accurate weather forecasts had helped farmers all over Australia, lived nearby.

This is an unusual crime story for Upfield, but, revealing the vast range of his interests, it is one of the better ones ... Constable Alice McGorr returns and is at her strongest and most profane best ... she is extraordinary, and should be appreciated as one of his major creations. - from The Spirit of Australia by Ray Browne. Bony - a unique figure among top-flight detectives - BBC |

Description: Myra Thomas, apparently dressed only in nightgown and slippers, has walked off the train somewhere along the 650 kilometres of track that crosses the Nullarbor Plain. With two camels and a dog, Bony begins to search the desert in search of her. He finds more than he bargins for - only to find a group of people imprisoned in the extensive limestone caves beneath the desert plain... This is surely one of the two or three strongest of Upfield's novels. It is an eerie mixture of Aboriginal folk customs and white man's greed and lust for revenge. Something of a study of abnormal psychology, it nevertheless turns on people's very natural and nasty feelings... This book is a splendid combination of plot, setting and development. - from The Spirit of Australia by Ray Browne. |

Description: »Bony spürte eine warnende Kälte im Nacken und fuhr herum. Zwei Krähen schienen den Verstand verloren zu haben; sonst gab es nichts zu sehen. Er ging im Kreis um den Schacht herum und fand das große Loch, einsfünfzig im Durchmesser und ungefähr in der Mitte einer kahlen, flachen Platte aus Kalkstein. Hinter ihm bellte Lucy wütend. Wieder drehte er sich rasch um, und die Kälte in seinem Nacken wurde zu Eis.«
Bony sucht eine Frau, die spurlos aus dem Zug verschwunden ist. Und er findet inmitten der australischen Wüste eine eigene geheimnisvolle Welt mit eitenen Gesetzen und eigenen Verbrechen: die Höhle des Schweigens.
Ein ungewöhnlicher Fall für Inspector »Bony« Bonaparte, jetzt erstmals in deutcher Sprache. |

Description: Deep in Australia's outback, a woman has been murdered, her daughter vanished. Ole Fren Yorky, a crazy wanderer, is known to have been in the area, and his footprints have been identified near the body. When he too disappears, even the Aboriginal trackers are baffled. Bony's approach changes everything... It becomes one of Bony's great adventures... He pictures the merits of Aboriginal society. And he uses weather - in this case the threatening rising of the lake - to picture man's heroic stature. The setting, the events, the pace of telling the story, the style of telling it - all combine to make this a tight, effective crime novel. - From The Spirit of Australia by Ray Browne. |

Description: Bony und die Maus.
In Daybreak, einem kleinen Ort mitten in Australien, geschich eine Reihe von Morden. Die Ermittlungen der Polizei blieben ergebnislos, bis sich Bony inkognito des Falles annimmt und sich auf ein riskantes Spiel mit dem Mörder einläßt.
»Upfields Bony-Romane sind für mich bei weitem das interessanteste Produkt australicher Literatur. Und einige von ihnen ... mit ihrer Mischung aus Land, Farmern, Eingeborenen, Mythen, Puzzle und ›Action‹ sind absolute Sternstunden des Kriminalromans.« Gisbert Haefs, Krimijahrbuch 1990 |

Description: Three times a killer has struck in Daybreak, a one-pub town in Western Australia. Why should so many people suspect the strange 'bad boy' Tony Carr? Why were the local Aboriginal tribe far away from town at the time of the murders? Inspector Bonaparte finds this small community very tight, till the arrival of a job-seeking bloke by the name of Nat Bonnar… Though lacking in some of the tightness that characterises Upfield's strongest books, this thriller is nevertheless a powerful success. The geography and geology are stark and proper setting, the people are alive and flexing with pain and apprehension... And here, as he so often does, he creates a major heroic character in Melody Sam who is unparalleled and unchallenged. - from The Spirit of Australia by Ray Browne. Bony - a unique figure among top-flight detectives. - BBC |

Description: When Inspector Bonaparte is called to the drought-stricken outback sheep station he finds that two men have been savagely beaten to death. Clues are scarce in this sun-baked, sand-blown country, but Bony's understanding of the bush and the people who live there - both black and white - leads him inexorably towards the killer… When Upfield gets down to the point of interracial sexual relations, he in effect is writing on one of the topics closest to his heart. Here his picture is unusually poignant. Caught in the iron grip of separation from his kind, of loneliness, of sexual attraction, Eric Downer is a victim of life... - from The Spirit of Australia by Ray Browne. |

Description: Kein Fremder darf es wagen, das südaustralische Tal zu betreten, in dem die Nachkommen einer irischen Gangsterbande hausen. Nur Inspektor Napoleon Bonaparte ist kühn genug, sich unter falschem Namen in die Gemeinschaft zu schmuggeln. Was er herausfindet, beunruhigt Bony nicht allzusehr: Schwarzbrennerei, handfeste Prügeleien - doch plötzlich stößt er auf einen Mord ... Arthur W. Upfield (1888-1964) wanderte mit neunzehn Jahren nach Australien aus. Seine Erfahrungen als Pelztierjäger, Schafzüchter und Goldsucher fanden Eingang in seine Romane. "Upfields Krimis gehören zum Besten, was die australische Literatur zu bieten hat."
