First book by this author - excellent story line. The research that went into this time period shows and Sister Fidelma is brilliant without ever stepping over the line of the period

I think this is the book where Sister Fidelma begins to evolve somewhat. There was more action adventure to the mystery. This book to me seemed to read faster.
Sister Fidelma, on a mission to her brother the king of Muman, finds the bodies of 33 slaughtered men, all covered in scars from an ancient pagan ritual. As an advocate of the Brehon law courts, Fidelma must learn who or what is behind the shocking massacre before it threatens the peace of her brother's kingdom.
