![]() ![]() Author: Tremayne Peter Publisher: Minotaur Books In A.D. 670, an Irish merchant ship is attacked by a pirate vessel off the southern coast of the Breton peninsula. Merchad, the ship's captain, and Bressal, a prince from the Irish kingdom of Muman, are killed in cold blood after they have surrendered. Among the other passengers who manage to escape the slaughter are Fidelma of Cashel and her faithful companion, Brother Eadulf. Once safely ashore, Fidelma—sister to the King of Muman and an advocate of the Brehon law courts—is determined to bring the killers to justice, not only because her training demands it but also because one of the victims was her cousin. The only clue to the killer's identity is the symbol of the dove on the attacking ship's sails, a clue that leads her on a dangerous quest to confront the man known as The Dove of Death. € 18,50

![]() ![]() Author: Tremayne Peter Publisher: Minotaur Books In the late 7th Century, the High King of Ireland is killed at night in the middle of his compound. Who killed him is not in question - there are unimpeachable witnesses that point directly to the clan chieftain responsible. Dubh Duin is, after all, found by the High King's guards in the High King's bed chamber holding the murder weapon. But with impending civil war in the balance, the motive for the murder becomes of paramount importance. The Chief Brehon of Ireland asks Fidelma of Cashel - sister to the King of Muman and a dailagh - to investigate. What her investigations reveal is an intricate web of conspiracy and deception that threatens to unbalance the five kingdoms and send them spiralling into a violent and bloody civil war and religious conflict. And it's up to Fidelma to not only see to justice but to prevent the violent fracturing of an increasingly fragile peace. € 19,00

![]() ![]() Author: Tremayne Peter Publisher: Hobby & Work Publishing Tara, capitale d'Irlanda, Anno Domini 669. Quando Sechnussach, Re Supremo dell'isola, viene ritrovato cadavere con la gola squarciata, tutti i sospetti si appuntano immediatamente su Dubh Duin, il chieftain del clan Cinél. Messo di fronte all'evidenza (è stato infatti sorpreso sulla scena del crimine con l'arma del delitto in mano), Dubh Duin ammette senza problemi la sua colpevolezza e, con sommo sconcerto degli inquirenti, preferisce togliersi la vita. Il caso sembra chiuso per tutti, ma non per Fidelma di Cashel, l'ormai leggendaria monaca-investigatrice creata da Peter Tremayne. Assistita come sempre dal suo fedele compagno Eadulf, Fidelma inizia a smontare il castello di presunte certezze riguardo la colpevolezza di Dubh Duin. Eppure, più procede nella sua inchiesta, più i misteri si moltiplicano e i pericoli si addensano. Il fatto è che dietro l'omicidio del Re Supremo si nasconde una mente tanto infernale quanto insospettabile, e forse l'unico modo per smascherare questo assassino diabolico è stare al suo gioco, fino in fondo, accettando il rischio di non uscirne vivi... € 18,00

![]() ![]() Author: Tremayne Peter Publisher: Hobby & Work Publishing Dopo "L'abbazia degli innocenti", "L'astuzia del serpente", "I crimini del ragno", ecco l'atteso ritorno di sorella Fidelma, la monaca-investigatrice dell'alto Medioevo scaturita dalla fantasia (e dal rigore storico) di Peter Tremayne. Siamo in una calda estate romana del 664 dopo Cristo. Fidelma si trova nella capitale della Cristianità per far approvare la 'regola' del suo monastero irlandese, ma proprio in quei momenti nella Santa Sede si consuma un efferato delitto: Whigard, l'arcivescovo di Canterbury, viene trovato morto da una guardia del Palazzo Laterano e il tesoro che avrebbe dovuto consegnare al Papa è svanito. Il vescovo di Roma, Gelasio, chiede a Fidelma e ad Eadulf - monaco sassone e segretario della vittima - di aiutarlo a svolgere le indagini per incriminare ufficialmente un colpevole che sembra tale agli occhi di tutti: un'inchiesta facile per Fidelma, a prima vista, ma il presunto assassino viene a sua volta ucciso, e non sarà il solo... Forte di un intreccio giallo rigoroso, complesso e imprevedibile, e ulteriormente impreziosito da uno scenario tanto inconsueto quanto perfettamente evocato in tutta la sua barbarica suggestione, "Un sudario per il vescovo" rappresenta una delle indagini più avvincenti e trascinanti della fortunatissima carriera investigativa di sorella Fidelma. € 15,00
