Sr Fidelma is on a pilgrimage to Spain by sea. Another pilgrim, Sr Muirgel, vanishes during a storm and it is assumed that she was swept overboard. However, Fidelma finds a torn and bloodied robe in Muirgel's cabin.

Lots of interesting information about 7th c. travel. I am a bit sceptical about the “Roman church bad Celtic church good“ stance in some of the interactions between the passengers but it wasn't enough to spoil an enjoyable story.
