In 1920s Melbourne, our lady sleuth, the Honorable Phryne Fisher, is a thoroughly modern woman operating in a mostly male world. The glamourous "lady detective" goes about her work of fighting injustice with her pearl-handled pistol and dagger sharp wit.

Miss Phryne Fisher returns this season with a sense of fun and flair for solving crimes. Detective Inspector Jack Robinson works alongside her, although she often outraces him to the crime scene. Despite Jack's effort to keep matters on a professional level, their playful partnership is growing more and more personal.

In 1929 Jerusalem, Phryne's rescue of a young Bedouin girl leads her on a globe-trotting adventure to uncover priceless treasures, wartime secrets, and an ancient tomb bearing a terrible curse, with the help of handsome detective Jack Robinson.
