Pauper King

Snow White is dead. Someone has put a pickaxe through her head. Her father, the disgraced King Johannes Wynpenny, vows to hunt down her murderer. But then others die—more beloved fairy tale characters—and now it's clear that a deranged killer is on the loose. Someone who leaves behind taunting clues and a cruel countdown. Someone seeking revenge. As his town is swept by witch hunt hysteria, Johannes must stop the maniac before others fall victim...including himself. E. Stuart Marlowe weaves a tale of magical realism and crime, where fantasy and horror bleed into historical fact. And where the fables from our past speak to us across the centuries.
