«La hija del verdugo» is the historical novel by Oliver Pötzsch, published by Umbriel in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).
In seventeenth-century Bavaria, a child rescued from a river with a strange mark on his shoulder alerts Jakob Kuisl, the hangman of Schongau. When other children disappear and an orphan is found dead with the same tattoo, the townspeople accuse Martha, the midwife, of being a murderous witch. To avoid torturing the woman who brought his children into the world, Jakob must uncover the truth with the help of his daughter Magdalena and the physician Simon, facing an evil hidden behind the city walls while collective hysteria threatens to revive the witch hunts.
First installment of the Schongau hangman saga, originally published in 2012 by Umbriel within its Umbriel histórica collection.
Recommended for readers seeking a mystery intrigue set in a turbulent past, with the pace of a historical thriller and an atmosphere of superstition and danger.
