When the redoubtable Miss Phryne Fisher begins receiving threatening letters, she enlists the unflappable apprentice Tinker to investigate. But soon her lover Lin Chung becomes another target as the harassment threatens to spin out of control...

Meanwhile, Dot begins to fear that her fiancé, newly promoted Sergeant Hugh Collins, has gone cold on their wedding. And Phryne's clever daughters Ruth and Jane begin their own investigation into suspiciously dwindling funds at the Blind Institute.

Nonetheless, Phryne accepts an invitation to a magnificent party at the house of the mysterious Hong, only to witness a shocking tragedy. Undeterred, Phryne gathers all of her unerring brilliance to track down the miscreants.

With some unlikely assistance, will Phryne win the race against time to save a pair of young lovers from disgrace and death?

Phryne Fisher at her sparkling best ... a cracker of a read!
