Inspired by true events, The Wolf Trial is a historical epic telling the horrifying tale of a man whose crimes were thought so great, locals wanted to try him as a werewolf.
Fictionalising the first documented case of a convicted serial killer, the Herald writer tells the story of Peter Stumpf, a 16th-century German landowner accused of brutally murdering dozens of people, while a lawyer fights superstition and the cruelty of those who fear what they don’t understand.
The Wolf Trial, by Neil Mackay, Freight Books, £13.99.
