Venom House

Venom House

The Answerth family's mansion seems to deserve its nickname of Venom House – perhaps because of its forbidding setting, an island in the centre of a man-made lake, its treacherous waters studded by the skeletons of long-dead trees.

Whatever the reason, most people are content to give Venom House and its occupants a wide berth… until a couple of corpses turn up in the lake. Inspector...

Wings Above the Diamantina

The discovery of a stolen red monoplane on the dry, flat bottom of Emu Lake meant many things for different folks.

For some it meant a murder plan gone awry, and for Bonaparte, it meant one of the toughest cases of his career. 'Bony – a unique figure among top-flight...
