"The Black Police: A Story of Modern Australia" by A. J. Vogan is a historical fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. This work explores the darker aspects of Australian society, particularly regarding its interactions with Indigenous peoples and the complexities surrounding police forces in that era. The narrative weaves in personal observations and experiences that hint at critical social issues of the time, notably through characters dealing with the harsh realities of life, including crime, poverty, and cultural conflict. The opening of the story introduces us to the bustling streets of Auckland, where young newsboys call out about a tragic event involving an Australian explorer. Among the crowd is Claude Angland, who becomes intrigued by the news, leading him to discover a letter concerning the death of his uncle, Dr. Dyesart. As he learns more, Claude decides to travel to Queensland to uncover the circumstances surrounding his uncle's demise, driven by an inexplicable pull and hints of hidden dangers. The beginning sets a tone of adventure and mystery while laying the groundwork for deeper explorations of societal issues and personal responsibility that Claude will face as he delves into his uncle's past.
