The year is 1662. Alpine
village hangman Jakob Kuisl receives a letter from his sister calling
him to the imperial city of Regensburg, where a gruesome sight awaits
him: her throat has been slit. Arrested and framed for the murder, Kuisl
faces first-hand the torture he’s administered himself for years.
Jakob’s daughter, Magdalena, and a young medicus named Simon hasten to his aid. With the help of an underground network of beggars, a beer-brewing monk, and an Italian playboy, they discover that behind the false accusation is a plan that will endanger the entire German Empire.
Chock-full of historical detail, The Beggar King brings to vibrant life another tale of an unlikely hangman and his tough-as-nails daughter, confirming Pötzsch’s mettle as a writer to watch.

I have read every book in this series and it is very good.
