Death at Victoria Dock: Phryne Fisher Mysteries (Paperback)

Autor Kerry Greenwood
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2008
Driving home late one night, Phryne Fisher is surprised when someone shoots out her windscreen. She alights to finds a pretty young man with an anarchist tattoo dying on the tarmac just outside the dock gates. He bleeds to death in her arms...and all over her silk shirt. Enraged by the loss of the clothing, the damage to her car, and this senseless waste of human life, Phryne promises to find out who is responsible. But she doesn't yet know how deeply into the mire she'll have to go: bank robbery, tattoo parlours, pubs, spiritualist halls and Anarchists. Then when someone kidnaps her cherished companion, Dot, Phryne will stop at nothing to retrieve her. Praise for Death at Victoria Dock "A fresh time period and location, a feisty main character, and a well-developed sense of place distinguish this historical mystery series." -Booklist "In a mere handful of pages [Greenwood] manages to evoke the decadent Twenties, give us some insight into the Communist and anarchist scene in those days, solve two thrilling cases and even slot in some dry Aussie humor." -myshelf.com Kerry Greenwood, author of more than 40 books, won the 2003 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Crime Writers Association of Australia. Other Phryne Fisher mysteries available from Poisoned Pen Press are Away with the Fairies, Blood and Circuses, Death Before Wicket, Cocaine Blues, Raisins and Almonds, Urn Burial, Flying Too High, The Green Mill Murder, Murder on the Ballarat Train, Murder in Montparnasse, The Castlemaine Murders, and Ruddy Gore.

Notă biografică

Kerry Greenwood was born in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray and after wandering far and wide, she returned to live there. She has degrees in English and Law from Melbourne University and was admitted to the legal profession on the 1st April 1982, a day which she finds both soothing and significant. Kerry has written three series, a number of plays, including The Troubadours with Stephen D'Arcy, is an award-winning children's writer and has edited and contributed to several anthologies. The Phryne Fisher series (pronounced Fry-knee, to rhyme with briny) began in 1989 with Cocaine Blues which was a great success. Kerry has written twenty books in this series with no sign yet of Miss Fisher hanging up her pearl-handled pistol. Kerry says that as long as people want to read them, she can keep writing them. In 2003 Kerry won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Australian Association.
