With "The Dark Monk," Potzsch returns to Schongau in the winter of 1648. A terrible fever plagues the good villagers, the the young daughter Simon cannot do much more than his quack father to halt its deadly spread. A band of murderous thieves lurks in the woods, cutting off Schongau from its lifeline of trade to the rest of Bavaria. And on top of everything else, somebody has poisoned the beloved village priest.

These are, as they say, dark days. It's fitting that a Dark Monk be heavily involved.

What ensues is a dizzying treasure hunt for Templar treasure, buried somewhere in Bavaria, sandwiched in between Kuisl's manhunt against the hidden robbers and, ultimately, the search for religious truth in a land riven by the Reformation. The Bavaria of 1648 was a land where Catholics and Protestants were never far from deadly violence, and when fighting over some of the most precious treasures in Christendom, you can be sure that nobody will hold anything back.
