Dancing with Demons

Sister Fidelma must investigate the murder of the High King himself and by doing so risk civil war, in Peter Tremayne’s brilliant eighteenth novel in the ever-popular series.

PRAISE FOR THE SISTER FIDELMA SERIES: ‘Tremayne’s super-sleuth is a vibrant creation’ Morgan Llywelyn, ‘A brilliant and beguiling heroine. Immensely appealing’ Publishers Weekly

When Sechnussach, High King of Ireland, is found dead in his bedchamber with his throat cut, all clues seem to suggest an all-too-obvious prime suspect. Dubh Duin, the chieftain of the clan Cinél Cairpre, was found with the murder weapon in his hand when the High King’s guards entered the royal chamber, before taking his own life. The Chief Brehon of Ireland asks Sister Fidelma to investigate and find out what possible motives could have driven Dubh Duin to assassinate the High King. Her investigations reveals an intricate web of conspiracy and deception that threatens to unbalance the five kingdoms and send them spiralling into a violent and bloody civil war and religious conflict…

What readers are saying about DANCING WITH DEMONS:

‘[Peter Tremayne] manages to weave such a great mystery with such complex little twists. I love all the Sister Fidelma mysteries’

‘Adventurous all the way. Five stars’

‘The characters are original, the settings are imaginative and true-to-life and the intricate plots form enough threads to keep you guessing at every turn’
