Book Overview
The Beggar King is the third book in Hangman's Daughter, the million-copy best-selling 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 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 the unlikely hangman and his tough-as-nails daughter, confirming P?tzsch's mettle as a writer to watch.

The Beggar King
Published by Reader1212 , 11 months ago
It is definitely a very exciting story that touched on each of the characters and what they do. Jakob and his back story was fascinating to learn about, as was Magdalena's. I dont want to spill details but it was good!
