ON THE TRACK An Autobiographical Novel D.L. Jones ON THE TRACK is a book that operates on a number of levels: it is a search, a tracking down of a murderer and a mystery as to who did it.

It is a search (through dreams and visions) into the sub-conscious mind of the private detective Dave Jones, a cynical westerner, who seeks but is unaware of the true nature of his journey. It is also the story of the other main character, Johnny Wilkulda an Australian aboriginal tracker, seeking a higher truth for himself and all others.
