The Will of the Tribe — Arthur W. Upfield

THE WILL OF THE TRIBE
In Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte's latest case, the body of a white man has been found in a meteor crater in the middle of an Australian desert, with no hint of how it got there. No one in the nearest town has reported seeing a stranger, and there are no tracks around the crater. It soon becomes obvious to Bony that both the local whites and the aborigines are stubbornly guarding a secret they will never share with the outside world -- until the will of the Tribe breaks their silence.
