Nothing in that article reminded me in the slightest of Arthur Upfield working as a fence boundary rider on the rabbit-proof fence in Western Australia while writing his then unpublished book The Sands of Windee.
He had decided to write another detective novel, but with a plot difference; there being no body for the detective to find. Unfortunately, he could not think of a way to dispose of a body.
Cracking that nut did lead to unforeseen consequences:
a series of three murders, committed by an itinerant stockman known as "Snowy" Rowles .. used the murder method that had been suggested by author Arthur Upfield ..
Still, at least I got to read about Bruce Chatwin getting stoned in India while eating a curry and reading Bhagavad Gita.
