The Executioner's House

You're the new apprentice to Meister Lienhard Kurz, executioner of the wine town of Wendelsau. Nobody honest will touch his family's hands, yet half the town knocks at their back door after dark for remedies. Here the murdered dead can rise on their ninth night unless the hangman lays them first. A highwayman hangs on Saturday for killing a carter who was never laid, and Friday is the carter's ninth night.
