The mysterious sixth entry in the Hangman's Daughter series. When an actor in a Passion play is murdered--crucified just like the character he is playing--Jakob Kuisl and his family must investigate a town's dark secrets in order to unravel the mystery. It is 1670 and Simon Fronwieser is in the town of Oberammergau to bring his seven-year-old son to boarding school. As he bids his boy a tearful farewell, news comes of a shocking murder: the man who was to play the part of Christ in the town's Passion Play has been found dead, nailed to the set's cross. As there is no doctor in town, Simon is brought in to examine the body. The chance to spend more time with his son and to investigate the murder quickly convince him to stay. Soon he is joined by his father-in-law, Jakob Kuisl, the Schongau hangman, and the two begin piecing together the puzzle of the actor's death. Was he murdered by a jealous rival? Are the recently arrived and unpopular immigrant workers somehow involved? Or is it a punishment from God for the villagers' arrogance in trying to schedule the play four years earlier than prescribed by ancient custom? Once again, it looks like it is up to the Kuisls to unravel the mystery and bring a town's dark secrets to light.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Oliver PötzschPublisher: HarperviaPublished: 05/09/2017ISBN: 9781328662088Pages: 512Weight: 0.92lbsSize: 8.00h x 5.30w x 1.50dReview Citations: Kirkus Reviews 03/01/2017Booklist 03/01/2017 pg. 45Publishers Weekly 03/27/2017
