Death at Victoria Dock

Book 4 of the Phryne Fisher series

A very young man with muddied hair, a pierced ear and a blue tattoo lies cradled in Phryne's arms. But sadly it's not another scene of glorious seduction—this time it's death. Outraged by this brutal slaughter, Phryne promises to find out who is responsible. But Phryne doesn't yet know how deeply into the mire she'll have to go—bank robbery, tattoo parlours, pubs, spiritualist halls and the Anarchists.
