Publisher's summary

When a murdered corpse of an unknown young noble is discovered, Fidelma of Cashel is brought in to investigate in Peter Tremayne's The Seventh Trumpet

Ireland, AD 670. When the body of a murdered young noble is discovered not far from Cashel, the king calls upon his sister, Fidelma, and her companion, Eadulf, to investigate. Fidelma, in addition to being the sister of the king, is a dailaigh - an advocate of the Brehon Law Courts - and has a particular talent for resolving the thorniest of mysteries. But this time Fidelma and Eadulf have very little to work with - 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 wave of violence erupting in the western lands of the kingdom? The turmoil there is being stirred up by an unknown fanatical figure who claims to have been summoned by "the seventh angel" to remove the "impure of faith". Fidelma and Eadulf, once again grappling with a tangled skein of murder and intrigue, must somehow learn what connects the dead noble, a murdered alcoholic priest, and an abbot who has turned his monastery into a military fortress. When it appears that things cannot get more complex, Fidelma is abducted, and Eadulf must rescue her before the mystery can be solved.

Fidelma rocks it again!

With more twists and turns than a roller coaster and a wonderful surprise ending. You will enjoy this one for sure.

I have eagerly awaited more of Tremayne’s Fidelma mysteries set in 6th century Ireland. All were first -rate til now. Average .

All of Tremayne’s other Fildema books were wonderful. This was the first to disappoint. No wonder it was free. (Plus catalog)
