Introducing the Honourable Phryne Fisher

Beschreibung

Glamour, grit, and a pistol in her purse--meet the Honourable Phryne Fisher, the unflappable sleuth redefining 1920s detective fiction. If you crave historical mysteries with brains, flair, and fiercely independent heroines, this is where your obsession begins. Introducing the Honourable Phryne Fisher brings together her first three page-turning cases in one irresistible volume--the perfect gateway to the beloved series that inspired the hit TV show Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Cocaine Blues: Tired of London high society, Phryne Fisher heads to Melbourne to try her hand at being a lady detective and quickly finds herself entangled in a dangerous case involving drugs, deception, and debutantes. Flying Too High: Phryne investigates a suspicious death and a high-stakes kidnapping while defying expectations in the skies--and on the ground--with her usual fearless flair. Murder on the Ballarat Train: A routine rail journey turns deadly when Phryne uncovers a sinister crime, a missing memory, and a trail that leads deep into Australia's criminal underworld. Praise for the Phryne Fisher series: "Phryne can not get enough of adventure and the reader can not get enough of Phryne."--Deadly Pleasures

Autor

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.
