Peter Tremayne: Hemlock at Vespers (UK 2000)

From the Publisher:
Sister Fidelma made her debut in short story form. The red-haired, sharp-witted and wise religieuse captured the hearts of many readers as she successfully tackled baffling crimes in her other role as dálaigh (advocate) of the law courts of Ireland, using the ancient Brehon Law system.

It was the overwhelming response to these stories which launched Fidelma as the heroine of a bestselling series of Celtic crime novels, set during the mid-seventh century AD. But it also created a demand for further short stories. This is the first collection of these stories ever to be published and is guaranteed to entertain and intrigue - an anthology that no lover of Celtic culture or historical crime should be without.

From the Publisher:
Sister Fidelma -- an Eognacht princess and sister to the king of Cashel, a religieuse of the Celtic Church and an advocate of the Brehornn court -- is one of the most interesting and compelling figures in contemporary mystery fiction. In this collection of short mysteries, Tremayne fills in many of the background details of Fidelma and seventh-century Ireland not found in the novels, and weaves his always-beguiling mix of history and mystery.
