  Are the sins of the past threatening the present . . . ? 
   
   
   
  1686, The Netherlands 
   
   
   
  After getting Master Mercurius jailed and nearly put to death with one of his schemes, the Stadhouder, William of Orange, has finally left Mercurius in peace. 
   
   
   
  But Mercurius is not able to remain in Leiden for long. A friendly debate on the sin of witchcraft has been proposed between the University of Leiden and the University of Leuven. And the scholars are to meet part-way in the city of Maastricht. 
   
   
   
  When researching the local witch trials from seventy years ago, Mercurius comes across astonishing charges that could not possibly be true. But the opposing side brings forth a witch-finder as a witness who is adamant that the women he charges bear the signs of the devil. 
   
   
   
  Before the debate can continue, the witch-finder is found brutally murdered. His body was left inside the library, locked from the inside with no other available exit. 
   
   
   
  Could this be the work of Satan? His wrath provoked by the investigation into local witch trials? Or is the culprit someone grounded much more in reality . . . ?

  The horse is perfect in all its parts—a splendid steed, saddled, bridled, and otherwise completely caparisoned. In it there appears nothing amiss—nothing to produce either wonder or alarm. But the man—the rider? Ah! About him there is something to cause both—something weird—something wanting!By heavens! it is the head! (Excerpt from the Prologue)The Headless Horseman is a novel by Mayne Reid written in 1865 or 1866 and is based on the author's adventures in the United States. The Headless Horseman or a Strange Tale of Texas was set in Texas and based on a South Texas folk tale.Vladimir Nabokov recalled The Headless Horseman as a favourite adventure novel of his childhood years - "which had given him a vision of the prairies and the great open spaces and the overarching sky." At 11, Nabokov even translated The Headless Horseman into French alexandrines.(Summary from Wikipedia)
