creation' Morgan Llywelyn, 'A brilliant and beguiling heroine.
Immensely appealing' Publishers Weekly Ireland, AD 671. The Great
Fair of Bealtain is almost upon the fortress of Cashel, and a line
of painted wagons carries entertainers to mark the occasion. But
preparations take a deathly turn when one carriage is set alight,
and two corpses are found, lying poisoned, within. As Sister
Fidelma and her companion, Eadulf, investigate, they are plunged

Sister Fidelma returns in another gripping Celtic mystery by Peter
Tremayne, acclaimed author of THE SUBTLE SERPENT, SUFFER LITTLE
CHILDREN and many more. PRAISE FOR THE SISTER FIDELMA SERIES:
'Definitely an Ellis Peters competitor' Evening Standard, 'This is
masterly storytelling from an author who breathes fascinating life
into the worth he is writing about' Belfast Telegraph Ireland, AD
670. When the body of a murdered young noble is discovered not far
from Cashel, the King calls upon Sister Fildema and her companion
Eadulf to investigate. The only clue to the noble's identity is an
emblem originating from the nearby kingdom of Laign. Could the
murder be somehow related to the violence erupting in the west of
the kingdom? The turmoil is led by a fanatical figure claiming to
have been summoned by 'the seventh angel' to remove the 'impure of
faith' from the land, and Fidelma and Eadulf soon find themselves
struggling with a tangled skein of murder and intrigue. What is the
mystery that connects the dead noble, a murdered alcoholic priest,
and a menacing abbot who has built his abbey into a military
fortress? When Sister Fidelma herself becomes the victim of
abduction, it is up to Eadulf to find and save her from imminent
death, so that the mystery can be solved... What readers are saying
about THE SEVENTH TRUMPET: 'Deserves seven stars. Authentic, well
written and expertly plotted' 'This story dishes up betrayal and
love in equal volumes. The series just gets better and better'
'Amazing mixture of crime thriller and fascinating history of
Ancient Ireland. Beautifully written'
