Peter Tremayne, highly acclaimed author of The Devil's Seal and Atonement of Blood, returns with The Second Death, his new Celtic mystery featuring super-sleuth Sister Fidelma. Ireland AD 671, the Great Fair of Bealtain is almost upon the fortress of Cashel, and a line of gaudily painted wagons brings entertainers to mark the occasion. But their journey is marred when one wagon is found to contain the corpses of a young man and girl - lying poisoned - within. As Sister Fidelma and her companion Eadulf begin to investigate, they are quickly plunged into the threatening marshlands of Osraige - where the bloody origin of the Abbey of Cainnech is coming back to wreak vengeance. But what is the symbolism of the Golden Stone, and who are the members of the mysterious Fellowship of the Raven? Fidelma and Eadulf must face death more than once before they can untangle an evil that strikes at the very foundation of the kingdom.
