About this listen

 Murder is a serious business - but for once it had to take second place... In the little town of Mitford, New South Wales, five babies had been stolen - all were boys less than three months old, and all had apparently been neglected by their mothers. The local Criminal Investigation Branch had given up, and on his arrival a cold trail faced Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, the half-Aborigine detective who had never failed to finish a case.©1953 Bonaparte Holdings Pty Ltd. Published in association with ETT Imprint (P)2013 Bolinda Publishing Fiction Mystery Police Procedural Detective
