Der Stumpengang

The dead body of a forester is found in a forest by high school students on a field trip with their teacher. The class was learning about a 14th century folk justice ceremony in which a criminal was forced to run on a forest trail, enduring beatings along the way, all the while with his hands bound in Stumpen, or leather cups. The forester's hands were bound in the same way. Zeiler and Oberländer must determine who wanted the forester dead and what was the significance of the Stumpen. Had the forester committed a crime?
