Our love is fire and fury, burning brighter than the heat of a thousand suns. But when secrets and betrayal threaten our chance at happiness, will the flames be enough to vanquish our enemies, and destroy our doubts and fears?

Glamourös, klug und unabhängig, eine moderne Frau und eine gewitzte Detektivin - das ist Phryne Fisher. Die wohlhabende englische Aristokratin lässt sich in den wilden 1920er Jahren in Melbourne nieder und lebt mit ihren beiden Adoptivtöchtern in St. Kilda, wo sie ihr Single-Dasein in vollen Zügen genießt - und nebenbei einen Mordfall nach dem anderen löst. Nicht immer zur Freude der örtlichen Polizei. Das kleine Städtchen St. Kilda steht kopf: Der Zirkus ist in der Stadt, und in wenigen Tagen wird die große Blumenparade stattfinden.

Wieder einmal ist Miss Fishers Spürsinn gefragt. Ein Orchesterdirigent, von niemandem besonders gemocht, wird tot aufgefunden: ermordet auf höchst extravagante Weise, in der Mendelssohn Bartholdys Oratorium Elias eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Während die clevere Detektivin entschlossen ist, das Rätsel um die 'Partitur des Todes' zu lösen, versucht sie zeitgleich, auf ihre einzigartige Weise, einem alten Freund zu helfen, der unglücklich in den genialen wie unsympathischen Mathematiker und Codeknacker Rubert Sheffield verliebt ist.

Ein Antiquitätenhändler wird tot am Strand von St. Kilda aufgefunden - war es Mord oder Selbstmord? Phryne Fishers Spürsinn ist gefragt.

Trotz der nicht endenwollenden Hitzewelle, die Melbourne heimsucht, heißt es nun, einen kühlen Kopf zu bewahren. Unerschrocken, mit Charme und Chuzpe nimmt Phryne Fisher die Ermittlungen auf und muss sich dabei mit unliebsamen englischen Aristokraten, dubiosen Geisterbeschwörern und allerlei merkwürdigen Gestalten herumschlagen.

Wenn Monsieur Anatole die gewitzte Detektivin Phryne Fisher in sein Restaurant einlädt, ist von vorherein klar, dass er ihr nicht nur seine köstliche Zwiebelsuppe vorsetzen wird, sondern auch einen Fall für sie hat: Seine Verlobte ist verschwunden, und Phryne soll herausfinden, wer sie entführt hat. Phrynes Cleverness ist gefragt. Alle Spuren führen nach Paris - und Phryne zurück in ihre eigene Vergangenheit zwischen Spanischer Grippe, Rive Gauche und großen Gefühlen.

49 a. C. Alla luce della luna, una donna dai lunghi capelli sciolti sulle spalle, il viso segnato dal tempo ma intatto nella sua bellezza, tiene tra le mani una lettera. La grafia è quella del suo amante di una vita, Gaio Giulio Cesare, e la voluttà con cui ha vergato il nome di lei, Servilia, è la stessa che a lungo li ha avvinti. Fuori, un vento gelido sferza Roma, vento di tempesta e, forse, presagio di sventura.

As a Wolfe, hunting is in my blood. Getting what I want is my nature. Even when I know I can never have it. Though I cannot keep her, I plan to relish the chase.

Martin en est chaque jour plus convaincu : les chasseurs auront eu la peau de l'animal. L'histoire des hommes, n'est-ce pas celle du massacre de la faune sauvage ?
