Can Samuel Pepys save his sister from the hangman's noose?
As the inferno of the Great Fire devours London in 1666, another firestorm rages in the tranquil village of Brampton, where Pepys's sister, Paulina, stands accused of witchcraft.
Pepys summons his inquisitors, Abigail Harcourt and Jacob Standish, plunging them into the heart of the witchcraft mystery. Can Abigail, Pepys's astute housemaid, and Jacob, his awkward yet eager protégé, unravel a web of secrets, gossip and lies to clear Paulina's name?
Racing against time, Abigail and Jacob must confront a formidable adversary: Simon Hopkins, son of the infamous Witchfinder General. Possessed by his father's Puritan zeal, he will stop at nothing to prove Paulina's sorcery and send her to the gallows.
To the pious folk of Brampton, the options are stark. Witch or not? Life or death?

The Samuel Pepys Mysteries bring 17th century England vividly to life, in the company of the celebrated diarist himself, and his personal inquisitors, Abby and Jacob. If you love a cozy mystery wrapped in history, this series is for you.
