The year is 1929, and the Honorable Phryne Fisher has been
engaged to investigate the drowning death of a young
Melbourne antique dealer. The police and coroner believe it
was suicide, but the victim's grieving mother knows
otherwise and trusts Phryne to see justice done. He
certainly had some strange friends—a Balkan adventuress, a
dilettante with a penchant for antiquities, a Classics
professor, a medium… At the same time, Phryne is on the hunt
for a long-lost illegitimate child, potentially heir to a
handsome estate, much to the displeasure of the remaining
relatives.
