"Tucked away in the mountains of New South Wales is cork Valley, inhabited by hard-drinking Irishment ... Here an Excise Officer looking for illicit 'stills' has been murdered, and it's Bony's job to find the killer ... Disguised as a horse-thief and gaol-breaker, the famous half-aboriginal detective hitch-hikes into the valley. But before he can spring the trap, Bony develops a strong affection for these lawless, lusty characters..." --Back cover
