Sinister Stones

Sinister stones… On a lonely dirt road in Western Australia a police jeep is found. In it is Constable Stenhouse — shot dead. His Aboriginal tracker has disappeared. Enter Inspector Bonaparte, who soon realizes that he is not alone in his search for the criminal. The local Aboriginal tribe is seeking vengeance too…
Fascinating in its treatment of outback life, and reveals clearly the weakness Bony has for young women and for people in the cattle stations who have been abused by life and events. All in all, it is a creditable production. — From
The Spirit of Australia by Ray Browne.
