Master of Souls

Sister Fidelma must find the link that connects the mysterious crimes in MASTER OF SOULS, Peter Tremayne’s brilliant sixteenth novel in the ever-popular Sister Fidelma mystery series.

PRAISE FOR THE SISTER FIDELMA SERIES: ‘A compulsive readable whodunit fronted by one of the most reliably intriguing characters to grace the pages of the genre’ Booklist

On a storm-driven night, wreckers drive a ship onto rocks off the coast of Ireland. An Abbess leading a pilgrimage is killed and the young religieuse with her abducted. An ageing scholar is murdered in the Abbey of Ard Fhearta. Do these events have a connection?

Sister Fidelma and Brother Eadulf go to Ard Fhearta to examine the mystery. But the abbey stands in the territory of the Uí Fidgente, enemies of Fidelma and her brother, the King of Cashel, and danger threatens Fidelma and Eadulf from the moment of their arrival.

What is the link that connects the crimes? Who is the mysterious `master of souls’ spreading death and corruption across the land? Has Uaman the Leper, Lord of the Passes, returned from the dead?

What readers are saying about MASTER OF SOULS:

‘Absolutely gripping from start to finish. Could not put it down’

‘MASTER OF SOULS gives us more insight into the customs of ancient Ireland, as well as an interesting mystery to unravel’

‘Peter Tremayne writes some of the best historical mysteries due in part to his heroine, a woman living in an enlightened country when the rest of Europe is going through the dark ages’
