Overview: Peter Tremayne is the alias used by Celtic scholar Peter Berresford Ellis (b. 1943) for his mystery and weird fiction. The author of over sixty books, Tremayne is currently best known for his series of historical mystery novels featuring Sister Fidelma, which began with Absolution by Murder (1994). Fidelma is both an Irish princess and a qualified dΓ‘laigh, or advocate, of the law courts of Ireland under the ancient Brehon Law system. The tales of Sister Fidelma (most of the ones included here) are set in 7th century Ireland and have, in one respect, a curiously contemporary feel. As Publishers Weekly said in its review or the first Fidelma novel, "in Tremayne's rendering (the period) is a golden age of enlightenment and of total equality for women." The series thus appeals to many besides history and mystery buffs.
