The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher is up to her elegant eyebrows in mystery once again!
Bookending her pleasant dinner with a university professor, Phryne Fisher makes two disturbing discoveries: first, a discarded opium pipe in the park, and later the body of a Chinese man on the beach—cause of death not apparent, yet ultimately ruled a homicide. While Phryne still manages to enjoy a delectable "dessert," she is troubled by the events. Meanwhile the teenaged sister-in-law of her longtime lover Lin Chung has run away from home, and Mrs. Chung herself visits Phryne at home to enlist her help in locating the missing girl. Are the incidents related somehow?
