About

In this spin-off to the wildly popular Australian mystery series, Peregrine Fisher (Geraldine Hakewill, Wanted) inherits her aunt Phryne's estate after she goes missing on a case. As the plucky Peregrine steps into her aunt's fabulous lifestyle in 1960s Melbourne, she also decides to follow in Phryne's footsteps as a lady detective for a new era. Relying on her street smarts and sheer nerve, Peregrine takes on the crime and corruption that have corroded the city. She soon endears herself to a club of accomplished women, led by steely former spy Birdie Birnside (Catherine McClements, Wentworth) and brilliant biologist Violetta Fellini (Louisa Mignone, Secret City), receiving their support and assistance on cases-along with the admiration of handsome, straitlaced Detective James Steed (Joel Jackson, Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door).
