Katova dcera a černý mnich
Author: Oliver Pötzsch
15,96 €
Katova dcera a černý mnich is the second book in Oliver Pötzsch's historical crime series. In January 1660, a priest dies in Altenstadt after drawing attention to an ancient grave beneath the church. A Templar knight's remains and a mysterious message set Jakob Kuisl, his daughter Magdalena, and medical student Simon Fronwieser on an investigation.
The priest's death opens a case involving religious history, local interests, and Templar legend. Jakob draws on his experience as an executioner and his knowledge of the human body, while Magdalena and Simon contribute observations and access to places he cannot enter as easily.
A sarcophagus and the message left behind create a historical puzzle. The three investigators must distinguish symbols from the practical motives of living people. Set in seventeenth-century Bavaria, the novel explores period prejudices and the power of religious and secular authorities.
This second Czech-language edition has 408 pages. E-book format: EPUB.
