About This Book
From the front flap of the cover:
Napoleon Bonaparte arrived quietly at Barrakee Stations, one of the best known homesteads in Australia's rich Darling River basin. Ostensibly he was a hired hand -- but in reality "Bony" was a detective with an urgent mission. The leader of the local aborigines, King Henry, had been murdered, and no one was beyond investigation.
The wealthy and successful owner of Barrakee Station had a gracious wife, a beautiful niece, and a son returning from college. But two things marred John Thornton's happiness: an unresolved argument concerning his son, and the murder of King Henry.
