People changed; they were no longer recognisable as Australians. Frustrations and misfortunes festered into wounds here, deranged the mind and poisoned the blood.
Suicide, or murder? Newly arrived in Papua, where even the luscious vegetation conspires with the bureaucrats to bewilder her, Stella Warwick is determined to prove her husband did not take his own life. Defying the patronising concern of officials, she ventures deep into the jungle, striding ever closer to the horrifying heart of the mystery.

Charlotte Jay was born in 1919 in Adelaide, Australia, where she operated an oriental art dealing business and continued to write until her death in 1996. Her mystery and suspense novels reflect a life spent travelling and her desire to 'frighten and mystify readers by asking them to identify themselves with a character bat- tling for survival in a lonely, claustrophobic situation'.She worked in 1949 for the Australian administration in Papua New Guinea, where she set Beat Not the Bones, for which she won the first Edgar Allan Poe award of the Mystery Writers' Association of America. The famous American critic Dorothy B. Hughes called her 'one of the most important writers of far-off places and their mysterious qualities'.
