AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Professor Belville-Smith had bored university audiences in England with the same lecture for fifty years. Now he was crossing the Australian continent, doing precisely the same. Never before had the reaction been so extreme, however, for shortly after an undistinguished appearance at Drummondale University, the doddering old professor is found brutally murdered.
'As Police Inspector Royle (who has never actually had to solve a crime before) investigates the bizarre behaviour of some worthy locals, a hilarious, highly satirical portait of life down under emerges.'
