The Beggar King (US Edition) (A Hangman's Daughter Tale Book 3)

The Beggar King is the third book in Hangmanâ€™s Daughter, the million-copy bestselling series.

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 firsthand the torture heâ€™s administered himself for years.

Jakobâ€™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 the unlikely hangman and his tough-as-nails daughter, confirming PÃ¶tzsch's mettle as a writer to watch.
