An Ancient Enigma Wrapped in a Web of Deceit
Immerse yourself in the riveting world of Peter Tremayne's Shroud for the Archbishop, a masterful tale of intrigue and suspense set against the atmospheric backdrop of 7th century Rome.
The novel centers on the sharp-witted Sister Fidelma, an Irish nun and advocate of the ancient Brehon Law. This brave female sleuth dives headfirst into the dangerous political undercurrents of Rome's Lateran Palace when Wighard, Archbishop designate of Canterbury, is found brutally murdered. With a trail of bodies, labyrinthine motives, and stolen treasures, Fidelma must unravel the seemingly impenetrable knot of intrigue before the killer strikes again.
This gripping story will transport you back to the Dark Ages, a world where religious tensions simmer beneath the surface. With a setting that extends from ancient Ireland to old England, this absorbing tale artfully combines elements of religion, crime, suspense, and history.
