A classic entry in Arthur Upfield's beloved Detective Inspector Napoleon Boney Bonaparte series, Wings above the Diamantina is an outback crime mystery set against the vast, unforgiving landscape of Queensland's Channel Country. When a young woman is discovered unconscious in a remote paddock with no aircraft in sight, Bonaparte is dispatched to unravel a baffling case that threads together murder, smuggling, and the raw isolation of the Australian interior. Upfield masterfully chronicles the investigation through the eyes of his half-Aboriginal detective, whose unique understanding of both European law and bush tracking makes him an unparalleled sleuth. The novel presents a vivid portrait of 1930s Australia, where the land itself becomes both witness and adversary, and justice is pursued with quiet, relentless cunning.
