Summonsed from her coastal home to claim her mysterious inheritance, Peregrine Fisher inveigles her way into a Melbourne murder investigation within the glamorous world of high fashion.

After two pop-singers are electrocuted whilst performing on a TV music show, Peregrine’s morals are tested when an old boyfriend is named lead-suspect in the case.

Peregrine goes undercover in a top-secret science facility after one of its employees, and old comrade of Birdie's, is found frozen to death in a crashed car.

Peregrine bites off more than she expected while investigating a murder at an International Cookery school, exposing a maze of corruption that lands James in hot water.

An architect and his lover are found dead after a party; Peregrine and James retrace the partygoers' movements, but it's proving difficult.

Peregrine's excitement over her upcoming nuptials is short-lived, when a woman's body is discovered during flight attendant training.
