What this book is about
The fifth Phryne Fisher mystery opens at the famous Green Mill jazz club in 1928 Melbourne, where a man is shot dead on the dance floor. Phryne, present at the scene, is immediately drawn into the investigation. The case leads her through the city's jazz scene, into gambling dens and backstreet dealings, as she tracks a killer with surprising motives. Greenwood captures the electric atmosphere of the jazz age with infectious enthusiasm, and Phryne's combination of glamour, intelligence, and fearlessness makes her one of crime fiction's most enjoyable heroines.
