The London season is in full fling at the end of the 1920s, but the Honorable Phryne Fisher - she of the gray-green eyes and diamant garters - is tiring of polite conversations with retired colonels and dances with weak-chinned men. When the opportunity presents itself, Phryne decides it might be amusing to try her hand at becoming a lady detective in Australia.
Immediately upon settling into Melbourne's Hotel Windsor, Phryne finds herself embroiled in mystery. From poisoned wives and cocaine smuggling, to police corruption and rampant communism - not to mention erotic encounters with the beautiful Russian dancer, Sasha de Lisse - Cocaine Blues charts a crescendo of steamy intrigue, culminating in the Turkish baths of Little Lonsdale Street.
