- The Barrakee Mystery: The Lure of the Bush
1
Why was King Henry, an aboriginal from Western Australia, killed in New South Wales? What was the feud that led to murder after nineteen long years had passed? Who was the woman who saw the murder and kept silent? This first story of Inspector Bonaparte takes him to the Darling River bush country where he encounters those problems he understands so well - mixed blood and divided loyalties. Rampageous fisticuffs, rough scenery and rougher, dust-covered sheepmen and wanderers, dignified aboriginals, and so much interest and local colour. - Books and Bookmen

Wieded einmal übernimmt Inspektor Bonaparte, der berühmte »Bony«, einen Kriminalfall, über den bereits Gras gewaschen ist: den rätselhaften Tod des Schriftsellers Mervyn Blake. Zum Glück hatte Blake eine sehr neugierige Nachbarin, deren scharfen Augen nur wenig entging… Arthur W. Upfield: geboren 1888 in England, wanderte nach Australien aus und bereiste per Anhalter diesen Kontinent. Seine dabe als Pelztierjäger, Schafzüchter, Goldsucher und Opalschürfer gewonnenen Erlebnisse fanden Eingang in 30 Kriminalromane. Hauptfigur ist der sympathische Inspektor Bonaparte, der mit faszinierender Findigkeit verzwickte Situationen und menschliche Probleme zu entwirren versteht. Upfield starb 1964, und »Reclams Kriminalromanführer« meint zu seinem schriftstellerischen Lebenswerk: »Seine Krimis gehören zum Besten, was die australische Literatur zu bieten hat.«

Der berühmte Meteorologe Wickham ist den Behördeb ein Dorn im Auge. Kein Wunder, daß man nach seinem Tod munkelt, er sei aus politischen Gründen ermordet worden. Kriminalinspektor Napoleon Bonaparte - seine Freunde nennen ihn ›Bony‹ - untersucht den Fall nach seiner unfehlbaren Methode. Er konzentriert sich auf Motiv, Gelegenheit und Mittel zu diesem angeblichen Mord. Und er deckt dabei erstaunliche Geheimnisse auf... Schauplatz: der südaustralische Busch
- Bony and the Mouse: Journey to the Hangman

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
- Bony and the Black Virgin: The Torn Branch
24
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.
- Bony and the White Savage
26
By a lonely roadside in the south-west corner of Western Australia, old-time Karl Mueller is roused from his drink-sodden sleep by approaching footsteps and the sound of whistling. What he sees on waking (or thinks he sees) is enough to make him stiffen with fear, and more than enough to worry the police into calling for Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte. The disturber of Mueller's rest is Marvin Rhudder - once an outstanding theological student, now a convicted rapist and basher, a bloody savage whose recapture will put all of Bony's sleuthing and tracking skills to the test. "Bony - a unique figure among top-flight detectives." - BBC
- Bony und die weiße Wilde: (Bony and the White Savage)
