About this ebook
The author of the Sister Fidelma novels presents a collection of historical mysteries ranging from seventh-century Ireland to the world of Sherlock Holmes.
Peter Tremayne is one of the best loved writers of historical mysteries. An Ensuing Evil collects fourteen of his short stories featuring a variety of fascinating sleuths, including the beloved seventh-century advocate Fidelma of Cashel, the nineteenth-century author Charles Dickens, and the Victorian icon Sherlock Holmes—who Tremayne imagines here as a young student at Trinity College, Dublin.
These stories take readers from the Napoleonic Wars to the court of the real-life Macbeth, and from the British Raj to the locked bathroom of a twenty-first-century airplane. These fourteen tales of murder, mayhem and mystery each display Tremayne’s usual mix of compelling historical detail about the time period and a baffling puzzle that will delight and confound his ever-growing legion of fans.
