The Will of the Tribe

It is in a harsh and eerie landscape--the crater formed by the meteor they called "The Stranger"--that another stranger is found . . . dead. In an area where the presence of every outsider is announced by the bush telegraph, how had this man passed unreported? Who was he? How had he died? And what was he doing before he met his end? No person, black or white, can--or will--say. It is up to Bony to provide the answers.

The Will of the Tribe was first printed in America by Doubleday Crime Club in 1962. Heinemann printed the first British edition the same year. Pictured above is the Arkon edition of 1983, printed by Angus and Robertson.
