Atonement of Blood
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Peter Tremayne is the fiction pseudonym of a well-known authority on the ancient Celts, who has utilised his knowledge of the Brehon law system and 7th-Century Irish society to create a new concept in detective fiction.
Fidelma of Cashel, princess, former religieuse, and advocate of the law courts, returns in her twenty-fourth mystery steeped in the religion, law, and culture of seventh-century Ireland. Determined to take a break from their crime-solving routine while enjoying some quality time with their young son, Fidelma and her husband-companion, Eadulf, are swept up into a mystery that hits uncomfortably close to home. After an assassination attempt is made on Fidelma’s brother, Colgu, king of Muman, during a celebratory feast, Fidelma and Cashel are compelled to venture into enemy territory to uncover a motive for murder rooted in politics, unrequited love, and misplaced revenge. As usual, Fidelma utilizes a combination of psychology, spirituality, and observation to break the case and expose a treasonous conspiracy. Tremayne and his impeccable cast of characters continue to provide the best of the best in medieval mysteries. --Margaret Flanagan
