Cold spring of 1699, North American colony of Carolina. Justice of the Peace Isaac Woodward and his secretary Matthew Corbett leave the capital Charles Town for the town of Faunt Royal, where something devilish is going on: the land will not give birth, the houses go up in flames at night, and there are two brutal murders. The townspeople blame everything on the young widow Rachel Howarth and seek to burn the witch at the stake, but the head of the settlement Robert Bidwell wants everything to be according to the law. For the justice of the peace the witnesses' testimony sounds quite convincing, but his secretary hesitates: is the girl a witch and why are there so many skeletons in the townspeople's closets? And whether the devil's intrigues all to blame - or the devilishly cunning plan of an unknown criminal ...? "The Call of the Night Bird" - of those unique works of popular literature that, without sacrificing a moment of entertainment, contain a lot of food for thought. And now I can't wait to be called by the night bird" (Stephen King). The novel is published in a new translation.
