Product Description

Product Description

Sister Fidelma and her faithful companion Brother Eadulf are on their way to visit the new Archbishop of Canterbury, when their ship is blown off course and they land on the coast of the Welsh kingdom of Dyfed. They are given hospitality by King Gwlyddien and Abbot Tryffin of the Abbey of Dewi Sant, and are asked if they would help to solve the mystery of how the entire monastic community of the Abbey, including the King's eldest son, could vanish into thin air. It's not long before the trail leads to deaths and treachery in high places and Fidelma and Eadulf are faced with one of the most sinister and baffling puzzles they've ever experienced.

5.0 out of 5 stars This will not disappoint fans of Sister Fidelma!, 18 Sep 2001
By Carol Arel (beanarel@att.net (Little Canada, Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews
An absolute delight to read, the 10th Sister Fidelma mystery has her teamed up again with Brother Eadulf. A storm has forced their ship, on it's way to Canterbury for a pilgrimage, to set aground in the land of the Britons. Brother Eadulf, a Saxon, does not want to linger the country where his people are so hated. Fidelma has been asked to investigate the matter of a deserted abbey and also to accompamy a monk on his way to judge a young man of murder in a neighboring town. Both Fidelma and Eadulf are placed in mortal danger by a band of thieves. This band of thieves proves to be not only involved in the disappearance of the monks, but also of political intrique. Peter Tremayne has provided us with another remarkable work of mystery and hisory!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another amazing tale, 1 Jul 2002
By Kathleen Charon (Salt Lake City, Utah USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smoke in the Wind (Paperback)
This is the eleventh title in the Sister Fidelma series but is also a stand alone mystery that is quite amazing. The evolution of the characters has been enjoyable and in this book, I found for the first time a pronounciation guide for Welsh and Irish words. There are two mysteries that need to be resolved and the addition of the Welsh prejudice against the Saxons made this book unlike the others. The explanations of Eadulf's background were quite interesting as well. My only regret is that I will need to wait several months for the next installment to be published. An amazing tale that I could hardly put down!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Really Fascinating Read, 3 Feb 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Smoke in the Wind (Paperback)
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.

The Sister Fidelma novels are taking on almost cult proportions and are becoming ever more popular with each offering from the author, whose obvious knowledge of the times and subjects he writes about shines out like a beacon on the shore.

Fidelma and her friend and companion, the Saxon, Brother Eadulf are on a journey to visit the new Archbishop of Canterbury, when their ship is blown off course and they have to land on the coastline of the Welsh kingdom of Dyfed. They are given the hospitality due to them by Gwlyddien and Abbot Tryffin of the Dewi Sant Abbey and once their identities are established are asked if they could help to solve a mystery.

The entire monastic community of the Abbey, including the King's eldest son have literally vanished into thin air. Fidelma and Eadulf are soon faced with one of the baffling puzzles they have ever had to deal with.
