And just as verisimilitude and fact are not always perfectly aligned, something happened next that we will report, but permit readers who prefer to doubt it to doubt.

An interesting story, posing the question of what value revenge has in the law. For the first part of the book, I was amusing myself by describing it as "Batman if Bruce Wayne were a German Horse Merchant in the 13th Century," but it veered off from that by the second half of the book. Bleak, but interesting.
