A mystery featuring Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte. When two young women hiking in the mountains vanish without a trace and a policeman sent to investigate is found shot, it is up to Bonaparte, working undercover, to solve the case.

This 1972 paperback is a tie-in edition to the TV series "Boney", (Why did they change the spelling of the main character's name from "Bony" to "Boney"?), and the cover shows a scene from the episode ("Boney Takes A Holiday") which was adapted from this book.
