El proceso contra Elvira de Landa / Die Jagd auf die Buchhalterin
Bamberg, 1610. The charge is witchcraft. The real target is hidden in a ledger.
Bamberg, 1610. Widow and innkeeper Elvira de Landa is accused of witchcraft. The charge is a pretext. What her pursuers really want is her wealth—and a ledger that can reveal who profits from the property of the condemned.
When Elvira and her daughter Greta escape, a relentless pursuit begins across a Europe of forced confessions, accelerated proceedings, and calculated confiscations. Padre Damián de las Cuevas is never far behind.
The journey that starts in Bamberg eventually drives the conflict to Logroño. Ink, seals, files, and procedure become weapons as lethal as any blade.
The story begins in Bamberg in 1610 and culminates in Logroño. The German edition is titled Die Jagd auf die Buchhalterin.
