Bored socialite Phryne Fisher leaves the tedium of the London season for adventu
re in Australia! Tea-dances in West End hotels, weekends in the country with gun
s and dogs...Phryne Fisher - she of the grey-green eyes and diamante garters - i
s rapidly tiring of the boredom of chit-chatting with retired colonels and foxtr
otting with weak-chinned wonders. Instead, Phryne decides it might be amusing to
try her hand at being a lady detective - on the other side of the world! As soo
n as she books into the Windsor Hotel in Melbourne, Phryne is embroiled in myste
ry: poisoned wives, drug smuggling rings and corrupt cops...not to mention eroti
c encounters with beautiful Russian ballet star Sasha de Lisse; England's green
and pleasant land just can't compete with these new, exotic pleasures!
