Account of how 'Snowy Rowles' murdered three men in Western Australia during late 1929 and early 1930, utilising the method for disposing of corpses described in Upfield's novel The Sands of Windee (1931). 'Rowles' had been present during a discussion between Upfield and a fellow worker on the rabbit-proof fence about finding a fool-proof means of disposing of a body to use in the novel. Upfield discusses similarities and differences between the novel and the actual case.
