"A novel of ancient Ireland"--Cover.

"When Sechnssach, High King of Ireland, is found dead in his bedchamber with his throat cut, all clues point to Dubh Duin, the chieftain of the clan Cinél Cairpre. For he was found with the murder weapon in his hand when the High King’s guards entered the royal chamber. But rather than surrender, or protest his innocence, Dubh Duin took his own life. The Chief Brehon of Ireland asks Sister Fidelma to find out what possible motives could have driven Dubh Duin to assassinate the High King. Everyone seems to have an opinion on this shocking murder but the Chief believes that the real truth is yet to be uncovered. Fidelma, assisted by her trusted partner, Brother Eadulf and accompanied by two Cashel warriors, sets out for the High King’s palace at Tara. Their investigation reveals an intricate web of conspiracy and deception that surrounded Sechnussach while he was alive and one that has only grown more entangled since his death. If those responsible are not discovered in time these intrigues threaten to unbalance the five kingdoms and send them spiralling into a violent and bloody civil war."--sisterfidelma.com
