The Second Death

A mysterious manuscript reveals a stunning, centuries-old mystery . . .
The Church . . .
The Inquisition . . .
Witchcraft . . .
Martin, a Dominican friar and inquisitor, is summoned by Werner of Finkelstein to conduct the trial of a young woman accused of witchcraft during the time of the Great Plague. The Second Death is Martin's story--his confession--written after he sequesters himself in a monastery, having taken a vow of silence.
Now, six centuries later, in the pages of the Dummstein Manuscript, his silence is shattered.
