The second in the classic Phryne Fisher series from Kerry
Greenwood, featuring the irresistible heroine Phryne.
Whether she's foiling kidnappers, seducing beautiful young
men or simply deciding what to wear for dinner, Phryne
handles everything with her inimitable panache and flair.
Danger, excitement and love--this is how the
glamorous Phryne Fisher is determined to live her life in
her second enticing adventure.
Walking the
wings of a Tiger Moth plane in full flight ought to be
enough excitement for most people, but not Phryne Fisher,
amateur detective, woman of mystery, as delectable as the
finest chocolate and as sharp as razor blades.
In this, the second Phryne Fisher mystery,
the 1920s' most talented and glamorous detective flies
even higher, handling a murder, a kidnapping and the usual
array of beautiful young men with style and consummate
ease--and all before it's time to adjourn to the
Queenscliff Hotel for breakfast. Whether she's flying
planes, clearing a friend of homicide charges or saving a
child from kidnapping, she handles everything with the
same dash and elan with which she drives her red Hispano-
Suiza.
