AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A man of mixed Aboriginal and European heritage (who bears a striking resemblance to Boney and who has been using his name) is killed when a crop duster engulfs him in a lethal cloud of insecticide. When Boney and Constable McGorr are sent to investigate the death, they find that one of the locals, Dr Paul Henderson, is over-anxious to protect his fiancée, Gloria Lacey (the daughter of an outback magistrate). Gloria had once had an affair with the murdered man and has since received death threats.
