Madman's Bend: Arthur Upfield

Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte 28. If any man was ever born to be murdered, it was William Lush - a hated drunk who disappeared after beating his wife to death. Plenty of men had the opportunity to murder Lush, some had the means, none had the motive. Jill Madden, his pretty step-daughter, had all three... When Lush disappears, Inspector Bonaparte must look for a body - and the murderer - before the Darling River rises to flood level... Cover art by Marinella Bonini.
