contemporary,genre fiction,historical,historical fiction,literature and fiction,mystery,mystery thriller and suspense, George Porter Dillman and Genevieve Masefield have crossed the Atlantic Ocean numerous times in their capacity as ship's detectives for many of the huge passenger lines of the early twentieth century. On several of those crossings they've had the pleasure, and in some cases the trouble, of sailing with some very famous passengers. Dukes. Duchesses. Artists. Actors. Musicians. Kings and queens from exotic foreign lands. They have even broken bread aboard ship with J. P. Morgan. But few names have quite the level of fame and fortune as their fellow traveler on this particular ocean crossing aboard the Celtic: They'll be sailing with none other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of the most famous detective in the world, Sherlock Holmes. As the two excellent investigators encounter the usual array of card sharps, cat burglars, drug smugglers, and crooked passengers of all kinds, will the famous writer help them---or hinder them?

In mid-seventh-century Ireland, Sister Fidelma of Cashel-sister to the King of Muman, an advocate of Brehon Courts, and religieuse of the Celtic Church-returns hastily from a pilgrimage to the Shrine of St. James. The news that brings her back is that her companion and friend, the Saxon monk Brother Eadulf, is under arrest for a serious crime in the neighboring kingdom of Laigin. Riding furiously through hostile territory, she arrives only to find out she is too late. Eadulf has already been tried and found guilty of the murder of a young girl. Even worse, Laigin's king has abandoned the traditional judicial code of Ireland in favor of the ecclesiastical Penitential from Rome―and under this code he is to be executed the following morning. Convinced that her friend is innocent, Fidelma has only twenty-four hours before his execution to come up with evidence persuasive enough to sway the king into allowing an appeal of Eadulf's conviction. Facing a king determined to make an example of Eadulf and an old adversary of her own, Fidelma soon realizes that nothing is as it was portrayed, and behind the heinous crime is an even more shocking conspiracy. Now, Fidelma must unravel her most perplexing puzzle before time runs out for her closest companion., Hardcover, Ausgabe: First Edition, Format: Import, Label: Headline, Headline, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2000, Studio: Headline, Verkaufsrang: 3346671.

ZUM INHALT Arriving home from a pilgrim voyage, Sister Fidelma is told that her faithful Saxon companion, Brother Eadulf, has been found guilty of murdering a young girl. She hastens to the capital of the neighbouring kingdom of Laigin, where he is being held, determined to prove his innocence. Her quest begins at the abbey of Fearna, where the murder took place, and where Fidelma clashes with the sinister Abbess Fainder, who is in no doubt of Eadulf's guilt. Fidelma can't deny that the evidence against her friend is overwhelming. Is it conceivable that Eadulf is actually involved in this sordid case of sex, shame and murder? She has little time to discover the truth for the King of Laigin has given in to Abbess Fainder's demand that the ecclesiastical Penitentials from Rome be used. The ecclesiastical law demands "an eye for an eye" Eadulf is due to be hanged... STICHWÖRTER Britische Literatur, Historien-Roman, Historien-Krimi, Irland, Frühmittelalter.
