The Bone is Pointed

This is the sixth instalment in Mr. Upfield’s detective series featuring the Australian half-case Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, known to most as Bony. In The Bone is Pointed, Bony is called to the bush country where a man went missing five months ago. Few people really care what happened to Jack Anderson. Jack was a cruel man with a nasty temper - a man who wasn't afraid to use his whip on those who crossed him. Have the bush men exacted revenge for his beating of one of their own? Has his rival in love disposed of him? Or has something else happened to him? Bony must follow the clues along a trail long gone cold--but he is half aboriginal himself and knows the ways of the back country. And… he has never left a case unsolved!
