Editorial Reviews

Peter Hosking's intense voice plays the full emotional range of this truly Australian mystery. Set in a remote mining town, The Bachelors of Broken Hill by Arthur W. Upfield tells the story of two unexplained murders. Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte is called in to solve the crimes, but is left waiting for another killing when the clues lead nowhere. In chilling tones, award-winning Hosking delivers a lucid performance of this literary mystery, at once a novel and a document of Australian life and culture at the time it was written.

Critic Reviews

"Arthur Upfield has an extraordinary gift. He has created a character, the half-caste Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, who steps alive off the page." (The Times)
