Produktbeschreibung
The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher is up to her elegant eyebrows in mystery once again! When private detective Phryne Fisher stumbles upon a lifeless man on the Williamstown shore and begins receiving ominous letters marked "REPENT," and "THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH," she knows something darker than scandal is stirring. At first, Phryne's week seems peacefully uneventful--she drops her daughters off at the Blind Institute for charity work and reconnects with a charismatic professor. But things quickly take a dark turn with the discovery of an opium pipe, a murder, and the disappearance of a teenage girl--the sister-in-law of Phryne's longtime lover Lin Chung. As her daughters Ruth and Jane chase a financial swindle at the Blind Institute, and streetwise Tinker investigates the source of the threats, Phryne navigates a maze of academic rivalries, opium smuggling, and cultural tensions. With the walls closing in, the sharpest mind in Melbourne must outwit a killer whose cryptic messages haunt her every move. From internationally bestselling author Kerry Greenwood comes a gripping new mystery in the beloved Miss Fisher series--praised for its wit, social bite, and unstoppable heroine.
Autorenporträt
Kerry Greenwood was born in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray and after wandering far and wide, she returned to live there. She has degrees in English and Law from Melbourne University and was admitted to the legal profession on the 1st April 1982, a day which she finds both soothing and significant. Kerry has written three series, a number of plays, including The Troubadours with Stephen D'Arcy, is an award-winning children's writer and has edited and contributed to several anthologies. The Phryne Fisher series (pronounced Fry-knee, to rhyme with briny) began in 1989 with Cocaine Blues which was a great success. Kerry has written twenty books in this series with no sign yet of Miss Fisher hanging up her pearl-handled pistol. Kerry says that as long as people want to read them, she can keep writing them. In 2003 Kerry won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Australian Association.
