Description

Ireland, 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 sends for Sister Fidelma and her companion Brother Eadulf to investigate, but someone tries to stop them before they even reach the abbey walls. As the mystery deepens, Fidelma and Eadulf must also wrestle with problems of their own—problems that threaten to separate them forever. "The clever solution, one of the author's best, enhances a pitch-perfect reproduction of medieval Ireland."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) "If you like a good mystery, cleverly plotted and beautifully written, and have not yet discovered Fidelma, a treasure trove awaits."—Irish Independent
