- Description
- Arthur Upfield is well-known for positioning an Aboriginal detective, Inspector Napoleon "Bony" Bonaparte, as the protagonist for his series. In Death of a Lake (1954), Upfield challenges the conventions of mid-twentieth-century Australian crime stories not only through privileging an Indigenous man but also through disregarding the central concept of the modern crime novel: murder.
