«L'os est pointé» is the mystery novel by Arthur William Upfield, published by 10-18 in paperback (349 pages, in French).
Detective Napoleon Bonaparte, Bony, investigates a murder in remote Australia. This time, an Aboriginal tribe involved in the case casts a spell on Bony: it «points the bone» at him. Even Bony's deep knowledge of Aboriginal culture does not protect him, and Bony must solve the crime before that force decides his fate.
«L'os est pointé» is the sixth installment in the Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte series. The novel was originally published in 1938 under the title «The Bone Is Pointed». This French edition is from 1994.
For readers of classic crime fiction and detective sagas set in Australia with an Aboriginal cultural background.
