Grave of the Lawgiver: Sister Fidelma Mysteries Book 36
Peter Tremayne
Formats & Editions
The year is AD 673. Fidelma accompanies Eadulf to his hometown, Seaxmund's Ham in the Kingdom of the East Angles, to be greeted with the shocking news that Eadulf's uncle, Athelnoth, the lawgiver, has been murdered and his house burnt down. And Eadulf's younger sister is missing.
The locals accuse Fidelma and Eadulf of the crimes, and Fidelma's safety is threatened by the first council of the bishops and kings of the Angles and Saxons, who wish to expel all Hibernian missionaries and teachers from the kingdoms.
Against this opposition, Fidelma and Eadulf must unite to solve one of their most complex mysteries yet.
