The Hangman's Daughter by Potzsch, Oliver - 2010

New York: AmazonCrossing, 2010. Translated from German by Lee Chadeayne; full number line; red foil lettering on black cover. "October 12 was a good day for a killing, It had rained all week, but on this Friday, after the church fair, our good Lord was in a kindlier mood. Though autumn had already come, the sun was shining brightly on that part of Bavaria they call the Pfaffenwinkel - the priests' corner - and merry noise an dlaughter oculd be heard from the town. Drums rumbled, cymbals clanged, and somewhere a fiddle was playing. The aroma of deep-fried doughnuts and roasted meat drifted down to the foul-smelling tanners' quarter. Yes, it was going to be a lovely execution." --from the back cover. Hard Cover. Like New/No Jacket. Illus. by Ben Gibson. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
