England-born author E. W. Hornung spent several years working as a teacher in rural Australia, and the experience proved to be a centerpiece of his career in fiction. Like many of his novels, The Boss of Taroomba takes as its setting the stark, desolate outback of Australia, delving into the often-shady inner workings of a small town.
