Femme fatale. French for “deadly woman.”
You hear the term a lot these days, usually in connection
with noir fiction and film noir. But they're not just products of literature or
film, the folklore of nearly every culture. They exist in modern society, too.
The gnuine femme fatales you har about now and then are every bit as evil as the
fictional variety. Yet what sets them apart is that they're the failures, the
ones who for one reason or another got caught. For every one of those, there
must be several times as many who get away with their destructive crimes…
In the thirty years the Nameless Detective has been a
private investigator, he has never once had the misfortune to cross paths with
this type of seductress… but in Femme he'll meet Cory Beckett, a deadly
woman who has brought some new angles to the species. New-and terrible.

When a murdered corpse of an unknown young noble is discovered, Fidelma of Cashel is brought in to investigateIreland, AD 670. When the body of a murdered young noble is discovered not far from Cashel, the King calls upon his sister, Fidelma, and her companion Eadulf to investigate. Fidelma, in addition to being the sister of the king, is a dailaigh—an advocate of the Brehon Law Courts—and has a particular talent for resolving the thorniest of mysteries. But this time, Fidelma and Eadulf have very little to work with—the only clue to the noble’s identity is an emblem originating from the nearby kingdom of Laign. Could the murder be somehow related to the wave of violence erupting in the western lands of the kingdom? The turmoil there is being stirred up by an unknown fanatical figure who claims to have been summoned by “the seventh angel” to remove the “impure of faith.” Fidelma and Eadulf, once again grappling with a tangled skein of murder and intrigue, must somehow learn what connects the dead noble, a murdered alcoholic priest, and an abbot who has turned his monastery into a military fortress. When it appears that things cannot get more complex, Fidelma herself is abducted, and Eadulf must rescue her before the mystery can be solved.Review“Tremayne writes so authentically about this remote time period that readers will feel they are there in every way . . . a delight!” —Library Journal (starred) on Master of Souls“The action is tense and gripping . . . a compelling, enjoyable adventure.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer on The Monk who Vanished “Tremayne, a master of the medieval mystery, continues to shine.” —Booklist on The Dove of Death “Fidelma's ability to best opponents, whether in argument, strategy, or audacity, makes her a heroine for any age.” —Publishers Weekly on The Council of the CursedAbout the AuthorPETER TREMAYNE is a pseudonym of Peter Berresford Ellis, a renowned scholar who has written extensively on the ancient Celts and the Irish.
