Der Henker von Salzburg arrives October 6

On October 6, CopertinaPezzi will publish Der Henker von Salzburg, the German edition of L.A. Fatzinger's debut novel, The Salzburg Executioner. Translated into German by Gabriele Praschl-Bichler.

They ruled Sara Wohlmuth's death a suicide. Her husband invented the algorithms that killed her.

Salzburg's last executioner kept a secret diary to expose the power he served. Two centuries later, James Wohlmuth writes a new one. Its victims die by the scroll instead of the sword.

The Salzburg Executioner is a gripping novel about regret, guilt, and the true cost of redemption and change. It is about what happens when powerful forces that claim to inform and care for us secretly consume us. Whether they wield power from a fortress, or by manipulating what millions see on their smartphones.

The story is set in Salzburg. From October 6, it can be read in the language of the city where it takes place.

For readers in Salzburg, look for Der Henker von Salzburg at your favorite local bookstore, including Höllrigl, The English Center, and other locations. Available in softcover and ebook. [Preorder / availability link]

Der Henker von Salzburg is a novel written for anyone who has watched someone they know or love change because of what they see on a screen. And for everyone else who has felt that pull themselves.
