Book Summary
Running late to a gala performance of Gilbert and
Sullivan's Ruddigore, Phryne Fisher meets some thugs in
dark alley and handles them convincingly before they can
ruin her silver dress. She then finds that she has rescued
the handsome Lin Chung, and his grandmother, who briefly
mistake her for a deity.
Denying divinity
but accepting cognac, she later continues safely to the
theatre where her night is again interrupted by a bizarre
death onstage.
What links can Phryne find
between the ridiculously entertaining plot of Ruddigore,
the Chinese community of Little Bourke St., or the actors
treading the boards of His Majesty's Theatre?
