Wealthy, stylish, unconventional and a penchant for solving crime, Phryne Fisher is a thoroughly modern female detective. Based on the highly successful novels of Australian author Kerry Greenwood, Phryne sashays through the grungy back lanes and jazz clubs of late 1920’s Melbourne, solving mysteries with her pearl handled pistol, her razor wit and leaving a trail of admirers in her wake. But behind the façade of elegance and nonchalance are the scars of the past which drive Phryne to find justice for those who can’t help themselves and to pursue the truth of her own dark history.
