Pavoučí síť confronts Fidelma with a murder whose culprit seems obvious. Set in Ireland in 668, it combines historical law with a careful examination of evidence that may undermine the first convincing explanation.
The year is 668, and King Colgú sends his sister Fidelma to remote Araglin. An educated lawyer and expert in ancient Irish law, she must investigate the brutal murder of the local chief, Eber. At first, the culprit appears to be known, but Fidelma refuses to accept a simple explanation without thoroughly examining the evidence.

What is Pavoučí síť about?
A young man was found beside the murdered chief with a weapon in his hand, and the local people regard him as the killer. Working with Brother Eadulf, Fidelma gradually discovers that the suspect may be a convenient scapegoat. Further murders occur in Araglin, and the investigation reveals new motives, suspects, and conflicts. Fidelma must navigate a web of hatred, lies, and greed while facing danger herself. This historical mystery makes the legal and social world of seventh-century Ireland an essential part of its puzzle.
