- Synopsis
- Located on the tranquil southwest coast of Ireland, the abbey of The Salmon of the Three Wells is the perfect place for study and contemplation-and an unlikely setting for murder. But in A.D. 666, a headless female corpse is unearthed from a well on the premises of this secluded religious community. Sister Fidelma, an advocate of the Brehon law courts, is summoned to investigate. En route to the abbey, Fidelma encounters a Gaulish merchant ship whose cargo and crew have inexplicably disappeared-and discovers that her beloved friend Brother Eadulf may be among the missing. As she tries to determine if the abandoned ship is connected to the murder at the convent, local tensions and vicious gossip plague her investigation-and she must navigate through a maze of sinful secrets to get to the truth....
