An orchestral conductor has been found dead and Detective Inspector Jack
Robinson needs the delightfully incisive and sophisticated Miss Fisher's
assistance to enter a world in which he is truly lost. Hugh Tregennis,
not much liked by anyone, has been murdered in a most flamboyant mode by
a killer with a point to prove. But how many killers is Phryne really
stalking?
At the same time, the dark curls, disdainful air and the lavender eyes
of mathematician and code-breaker Rupert Sheffield are taking Melbourne
by storm. They've certainly taken the heart of Phryne's old friend from
the trenches of WWI, John Wilson. Phryne recognizes Sheffield as a man
who attracts danger and is determined to protect John from harm. Even
with the faithful Dot, Mr. and Mrs. Butler, and all in her household
ready to pull their weight, Phryne's task is complex. While
Mendelssohn's Elijah, memories of the Great War, and the science of
deduction ring in her head, Phryne's past must also play its part as MI6
become involved in the tangled web of murders.
