The call of the night bird. Mackammon R.

Cold spring 1699, North American colony Carolina. The justice of the peace Isaac Woodword and his secretary Matthew Corbett depart from the capital Charles Town to the town of Faunt-Royal, where some kind of devilry is happening: the earth will not give birth, at night they blazing at night, and then two brutal murders. The townspeople accuse the young widow Rachel Hoart in everything and seek to burn a witch at the stake as soon as possible, but the head of the settlement Robert Bidwell wants everything to be according to the law. For the justice of the peace, the testimony of witnesses sound quite convincingly, but his secretary fluctuates: is the girl - a witch and why are there so many skeletons in the cabinets of the townspeople? And the Devilov is the intrigues of all the fault - or the devilishly cunning plan of the unknown criminal?.. “The call of the night bird is out of those unique works of popular literature, which, for a moment without sacrificing entertaining, contain a lot of food for the mind. And now I won’t wait until the night bird will call me ”(Stephen King). The novel is published in a new translation.
