Volume One: ‘Cocaine Blues’ and ‘Flying Too High’
The first two classic Phryne Fisher mysteries finally back in print – together in one volume.
COCAINE BLUES
Cocktails, haute couture and exotic dancers. What more could a girl want?
For Phryne Fisher, rich, aristocratic and far too intelligent to be content as a flapper in the Jazz Age, it’s all in a day’s work. On the trail of a drug czar, she collects men, fast cars and designer dresses. But no matter how delicious the distractions, Phryne never takes her eyes off the main prize: bringing down the nastiest villain ever to grace a
Melbourne drawing room.
FLYING TOO HIGH
Planes. Parties. Peril.
Walking the wings of a Tiger Moth in full flight ought to be enough excitement for anybody. But not for the Honourable Phryne Fisher, on the trail of murder and mayhem in uptown Melbourne. Clearing a friend of homicide charges and saving a child from kidnapping do not leave much time for love, luxury or lechery but, as always, Phryne manages to fit them in. After all, why be a Lady Investigator if you can’t have fun?
