A Golden Age mystery, first published in America by the Doubleday Crime Club in 1950. Arthur Upfield was the first non-American to be awarded full membership of the Mystery Writers Guild of America. In print by Touchstone. Among the 28, 000 inhabitants of Broken Hill there stalks a killer. Already two elderly bachelors have died horribly from cyanide poisoning. Now, two months later, Detective Inspector Napolean Bonaparte faces a cold trail ? no motive, no clues ? only vague descriptions of a woman who had been on the scene each time. So Bony waits for what he believes to be inevitable ? a third killing. ?Arthur Upfield's Bony books are a wonderful mixture of Australian life, natural history, and subtle humor. The Bachelors of Broken Hill is typical of his stories? ?
