After a hotel concierge falls to his death with Phryne's stolen bag, the trail of clues leads to her eccentric father, Baron Henry Fisher, who may finally have gotten himself into trouble too deep to be fixed by charm.

The Grand Hotel has most certainly seen better days, especially now that its concierge has been forcibly shoved from its rooftop. Phryne's reluctance to investigate rests entirely on of fact of her untrustworthy father Henry being one of the guests (whom she handsomely paid to be well on his way back to England). Henry's past and a crooked game of poker lie at the heart of the matter that Phryne struggles with repugnance to put right.—statmanjeff
