Harrington combined several diaries and historical documents to describe the biography of a professional executioner. Unlike many such stories, Meister's life has a definite and conscious purpose: to no longer be an executioner. In this book, Harrington reveals the details of the life and work of a real executioner: shocking crimes, medical practices, and the struggle to reconcile the craft with religious faith. With this innovative and intimate portrait, Harrington shows that our perception of justice and punishment and our sense of our own humanity are not far removed from the world of the Righteous Executioner.
This book is about a deeply religious man who dreamed of practicing medicine, a wonderful family man and a real serial killer by profession.
