About “The Beggar King”
In 1662, hangman Jakob Kuisl receives a letter calling him to Regensburg, where he finds his sister's throat slit. Framed for the murder, he is arrested and tortured with the methods he himself once administered. His daughter Magdalena and a young medicus named Simon race to help him, and with an underground network of beggars, a beer-brewing monk, and an Italian playboy, uncover a plan that threatens the entire German Empire.
