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.
Devastated by grief, haunted by guilt, exiled from his life's work, James arrives at the same conclusion as the executioner, two centuries before him: one death is never enough to move the powerful. A record of many might be.
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.
Note: Please add, in the order comments, up to 20 words of text L.A. Fatzinger will write on the inside first page of the book, as well as the name of the person receiving the copy.
