She means to take the train to Sydney (where the harbour bridge is being built), go to a few cricket matches, dine with the Chancellor of the university, and perhaps go to the Arts Ball with that young modernist, Chas Nutall. She has the costume of a lifetime, and she’s not afraid to use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen she arrives there, however, her maid Dot finds that her extremely respectable married sister Joan has vanished, leaving her small children to the neglectful care of a resentful husband. What has become of Joan, who would never leave her babies? Surely she hasn’t run away with a lover, as gossip suggests?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen while Phryne is visiting the university, the very pretty Joss and Clarence ask her to find out who has broken into the Dean’s safe and stolen a number of things, including the Dean’s wife’s garnets and an irreplaceable illuminated book called the Hours of Juana the Mad. An innocent student has been blamed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo Phryne girds up her loins, loads her pearl-handled .32 Beretta, and sallies forth to find mayhem, murder, black magic, and perhaps a really good cocktail before more crime erupts in Sydney.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poisoned Pen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035276394736,"sku":"9781590585573","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590585573_p0.jpg?v=1763802666","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590585573","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
