Prophet of Blood

by Peter Tremayne Book 35 in the Sister Fidelma Mysteries series.

Amazon
4.1(323)

Autumn, AD 672. A woman dressed entirely in grey tells Abbot Brocc that he will soon die. He dismisses the warning but asks Fidelma for advice; by the time she reaches the remote abbey of Dair Inis, Brocc has been found dead in the sweat house exactly as foretold.

The supposed prophecy intensifies hostility between followers of Christian teaching and defenders of older beliefs. Fidelma, Eadulf and Dego must trace the grey-clad woman, examine the abbot's conflicts and establish how foreknowledge of the death was obtained, while further danger suggests that the prophecy was part of a carefully constructed murder plan.
