Super sleuth Sister Fidelma returns in SMOKE IN THE WIND, the eleventh perplexing historical mystery by Peter Tremayne, acclaimed author of SMOKE IN THE WIND, OUR LADY OF DARKNESS and many more.

PRAISE FOR THE SISTER FIDELMA SERIES: 'The background detail is brilliantly defined... Wonderfully evocative' The Times, 'Sister Fidelma is fast becoming a world ambassador for ancient Irish culture' Irish Post

Sister Fidelma and her 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 a sinister and baffling puzzle.

What readers are saying about SMOKE IN THE WIND:

'
Absolutely brilliant. Each one gets better than the one before'

'The
twists and turns keep me wanting to know what happened. An excellent story, well written'

'An
amazing tale that I could hardly put down!'

Review

'This is masterly storytelling from an author who breathes fascinating life into the world he is writing about' Belfast Telegraph

'The detail of the books is fascinating, giving us a vivid picture of everyday life at this time...the most detailed and vivid recreations of ancient Ireland' Irish Examiner



OUR LADY OF DARKNESS:
'Strong on historical whodunnit, as sharp as a sword and as colourful as any medieval manuscript' Northern Echo



'The latest Sister Fidelma mystery is one of the best... an excellent mystery with rich helpings of evil and tension set within a culture struggling to keep its identity and laws in the face of pressure from the Roman Church. Peter Tremayne paints a believable picture of time and place with a set of lively and varied characters' Historical Novels Review

HEMLOCK AT VESPERS
'This collection is an essential canonical text for Sister Fidelma acolytes' Publisher's Weekly
'Fidelma's fans will welcome this first-ever collection, many stories of which are appearing here for the first time' Kirkus Reviews
'A treasure trove of small gems for historical mystery fans' Booklist
'A complex mesh of betrayals that also catch up the sleuth, exploiting both Fidelma's strengths and vulnerabilities' Kirkus Reviews
'Beguiling' Peterborough Evening Telegraph



ACT OF MERCY
'Wonderfully evocative' The Times



Praise for previous novels:
'The Sister Fidelma books give the readers a rattling good yarn. But more than that, they bring vividly and viscerally to life the fascinating lost world of the Celtic Irish. I put down The Spider's Web with a sense of satisfaction at a good story well told, but also speculating on what modern life might have been like had that civilisation survived' Ronan Bennett
'A heroine whom many readers will willingly follow' Kirkus Reviews;
'A brilliant and beguiling heroine. Immensely appealing, difficult to put down' PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY;
'Definitely an Ellis Peter competitor...the background detail is marvellous' EVENING STANDARD;

    Sister Fidelma and brother Eadulf travelling to Wales where they get embroiled in a twisted murder mystery. Vanished monks, a murdered maiden and rumours of bandits and war keeping them running for their lives. It takes all their wits to figure out who is behind it all and how many murdered are running around. Fun to read and challenging to guess the outcome.

    Up to standard - enjoyable
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2014
    Being a history lover and a book worm I find the Sister Fidelma mysteries satisfy my constant search for something interesting to read, whilst informing me of Ireland's history with regard to the Ancient Brehon Law of the Feinechus,(Gaelic). The text of these laws, written in the most archaic form of the Gaelic language, dates back to the 7th and 8th centuries and is so difficult to translate that the official renderings are to some extent conjectural. The ancient Irish judge, or Brehon, was an arbitrator, umpire, and expounder of the law, rather than a judge in the modern sense. Peter Tremayne has obviously deciphered these ancient text's and created the character of Fidelma of Cashel to bring them to life. She may be a little too haughty and pedantic at times, but it all makes for light hearted and entertaining reading.

    Sister Fidelma fans will not be disappointed as she and Brother Eadulf combat some evil machinations in the country of Dyfed and try to develop their relationship while trying to find the truth behind a series of mysterious deaths and disappearances.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really exciting read - even for the second time!
    Reviewed in the United States on 10 August 2019
    It's the second time, that I have read it - as I have started over again, and it was just as exciting as the first time - if not more! But I also have an advantage, because my short term memory isn't the best, so I can't remember who the culprits are in the books. ;) But even if I could remember, I would still read them again and again, because I absolutely LOVE the Sister Fidelma Mysteries! And I find the old celtic times, the law system and social structures really fascinating.

    I recommend them anyone, who have the slightest interest in history and the old celtic times, because you can learn a lot - if you want to, and be entertained the whole way, as there is a lot of accurate historical facts in them.

    カンタベリに向かう途中、ダヴェッドの王に依頼された仕事。
    それは、ある日突然無人になった修道院の謎を解き、
    行方不明となった修道士たちを探すことだった。
    出発したフィデルマたちだったが、時を同じくして発生した
    殺人事件にも興味をそそられる。
    村人たちがリンチにかけようとした少年は、本当に犯人なのか?
    調査に向かった修道院で、二人は盗賊の一団に襲われる。
    ラテン語を解する盗賊の狩猟は何者か?
    そして、フィデルマの身に危機が!
    珍しくも、癖のある男性たちがたくさん、脇役として登場。
    女性が大活躍するアイルランドと違い、男性中心の社会である
    ウェールズ・イングランドが舞台になっているからでしょうか。
    そんな中で、フィデルマとアドルフの仲はなんとなくぎくしゃくし、
    今後にちょっと不安を抱かせます。
    ウェールズ語も堪能なフィデルマに負けじと、アドルフも拙いながら
    がんばってウェールズ語で証人喚問を行います。二人とも立派。
