The devastating Phryne Fisher is under fire again in her seventeenth mystery.
Melbourne, 1929. The year starts off for glamorous private investigator Phryne Fisher with a rather trying heat wave and more mysteries than you could prod a parasol at. Simultaneously investigating the apparent suicide death of a man on St Kilda beach and trying to find a lost, illegimate child who could be heir to a wealthy old woman's fortune, Phryne needs all her wits about her, particularly when she has to tangle with a group of thoroughly unpleasant Bright Young Things.
But Phryne Fisher is a force of nature, and takes in her elegant stride what might make others quail, including terrifying séances, ghosts, Kif smokers, the threat of human sacrifices, dubious spirit guides and maps to buried pirate treasure ...
Kerry Greenwood (1954-2025) is the author of more than fifty novels, a collection of short stories and six non-fiction titles, and she was the editor of two acclaimed anthologies of crime writing. Kerry is best known for her beloved Phryne Fisher series, which inspired the internationally successful ABC television drama Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Across her remarkable career, Kerry created some of the most iconic heroines in Australian fiction, including the glamorous, fearless Phryne Fisher and the compassionate baker-sleuth Corinna Chapman.
Since 1997, her books have sold more than 1.4 million copies worldwide. A gifted storyteller, a generous soul and a passionate advocate for creativity, joy and justice, Kerry's influence on readers, writers and the literary community has been profound.
