The second installment of the series set in medieval Ireland finds Celtic nun Sister Fidelma investigating the brutal death of Wighard, Archbishop Designate of Canterbury, a case that leads her into the thick of the world's religious conflict.
Sister Fidelma Mystery series #2
In the autumn of A.D. 664, Sister Fidelma has arrived in the Holy City of Rome, the capital of Christendom. The sharp-witted, outspoken young religieuse, trained in criminal investigation, is being called upon to solve a murder.
The archbishop designate of Canterbury, a strategic ally of Rome, has been found garroted in his chambers in the Lateran Palace, and a priceless trove of religious objects has disappeared. While the Romans believe they know the killer's identity, Sister Fidelma is not so sure. Her inquiry will take her through the darkest passageways of Rome, into a mystery that lies at the heart of a world echoing with religious conflict...a mystery destined to claim more lives....
