Bestselling author

'Bony ? a unique figure among top-flight detectives.'
BBC

'Napoleon Bonaparte, my best detective.'
The Daily Express

One of the most celebrated of the classic Bony detective stories.

Daybreak is a one-horse, one-pub town deep in the Western Australian outback. The close-knit community has been left in shock by a string of murders, with little visible connection between each tragic death. Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte is on the scene, disguised as a horse breaker. He is convinced the murders are connected, and is content to keep in disguise until he gains the trust of the locals. Then the deadly game of cat and mouse between himself and the killer can begin. PLEASE NOTE: Part of the appeal of Arthur Upfield’s stories lies in their authentic portrayal of many aspects of outback Australian life in the 1930s and through into the 1950s. These books reflect and depict the attitudes and ways of speech of that era particularly with regard to Aborigines and to women. In reproducing this book the publisher does not endorse the attitudes or opinions they express.
