Der Hexenmörder aus dem Nebelwald Ein düsteres Mysterium, das den Atem raubt. Im dichten Nebelwald tauchen immer wieder die Leichen junger, rothaariger Frauen mit grünen Augen auf.

Die Leichen hängen an Bäumen, um den Hals geschlungen ein Henkerstrick - aber das ist nicht die Todesursache. Unter den Opfern: ein zerbrochener Hexenbesen – und doch war keine dieser Frauen eine Hexe.
