SERIES 1: Phryne (pronounced Fry-nee) is a glamorous and thoroughly modern woman of the 1920's. Our lady sleuth sashays through the back lanes and jazz clubs of Melbourne, fighting injustice with her pearl handled pistol and her dagger sharp wit. Leaving a trail of admirers in her wake, our heroine makes sure she enjoys every moment of her lucky life.

But behind the facade of elegance and charm are the scars of the past which drive Phryne to find justice for those who cannot help themselves and to pursue the truth of her own dark history.

SERIES 2: From the shadowy lanes of the city to the halls of academia, from high-class brothels to haute couture, she defends the innocent and juggles admirers with her usual panache, all the while keeping up her delicious dance around Detective Inspector Jack Robinson

SERIES 3: Phryne's estranged father, Lord Henry George Fisher, arrives unannounced in Australia after selling up the family estate in England and does his best to ingratiate himself with Dot, Bert, Cec and Mr Butler, though his roguish charm is lost on his own daughter. When Phryne recalls a secret encounter that she witnessed during the War, between her father and the cousin from whom the Fishers inherited their title, she begins to suspect that her ancestor is still alive and could be out to exact his revenge.

MISS FISHER AND THE CRYPT OF TEARS: The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher embarks on a globe-trotting romp of mystery and mayhem across the exotic 1920's deserts of the Negev, glamorous manor-house ballrooms, and the darkened back alleys of London. After freeing a young Bedouin girl, Shirin Abbas, from her unjust imprisonment in Jerusalem, Miss Fisher begins to unravel a wartime mystery concerning a priceless jewel, an ancient curse and the truth behind the suspicious disappearance of Shirin's forgotten tribe.
