Homebody by Orson Scott Card

The Lake Frome Monster

Maidstone is found shot to death near Bore 10. The aborigine trackers can find no clue to the circumstances of his death, and it is some three weeks and many sand storms later that Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, alias Ed Bonnay, arrives to delve into the problem. Bony doesn't make much progress until he deliberately lets it slip that he is a policeman. This really stirs things up. Of course, Bony solves the mystery; does he ever fail? This is not quite as good as a completely Arthur U pfield tale; it drags in parts, but some chapters are very gripping.
