Cocaine Blues

In the 1920s, Miss Phryne Fisher returns to Melbourne after several years abroad. Shortly after her arrival, she is invited to a luncheon with John and Lydia Andrews, as well as her Aunt Prudence. She arrives at the Andrews' manor only to learn that John was found dead that morning on the bathroom floor. Lydia is quite shaken and has no idea what has happened. The police suspect foul play and is later revealed that John was poisoned with arsenic. Phryne learns from Lydia's maid, Dorothy "Dot" Williams, that a housemaid named Alice Hartley recently left the Andrews' employment - a vital clue which soon leads to a cocaine smuggling ring and an illegal abortionist, known as "Butcher George".
