"If there is anyone who has emerged from the crowded field of medieval mysteries to take the place of the late Ellis Peters, it is Peter Tremayne." --Denver Post on Master of SoulsIreland AD 670: When an eminent scholar is found murdered in his cell in the Abbey of Lios Mor, fear spreads among his brethren. His door was secured from the inside, with no other means of exit. How did the murderer escape? And what was the content of the manuscripts apparently stolen from the scholar's room?Abbot Iarnla insists on sending for Sister Fidelma and her companion Brother Eadulf to investigate the killing. But even before they reach the abbey walls, there is an attempt on their lives. As the mystery deepens, Fidelma and Eadulf must also wrestle with problems of their own, problems which threaten to separate them forever...
Customer Reviews
I LOVE this series and this is the BEST YET! Peter Tremayne's historical knowledge is impressive and he weaves an intriguing tale, as always. Our modern justice system could learn much from the legal system in the Five Kingdoms during the 7th century. Only one thing I'd add --- a glossary with a phonetic pronunciation of the wonderful Irish names, places, and phrases that so beautifully color Mr. Tremayne's works. I am anxious for the sequel.
