Book excerpt: Witch... Some words can kill Germany, 1507. In a time when famine is rife and panic spreading, people resort to desperate measures in order to survive. When a visiting friar suggests that witchcraft is to blame for their failing crops, Irmeltrud sees it as an opportunity to get rid of her burdensome mother-in-law, Güde.
