Traumatised Parliamentarian spy James Archer returns north seeking his sister Meg, missing in the aftermath and hysteria of Newcastle’s recent witch trials.

Aloof, enigmatic Elizabeth Thompson draws him to investigate the ongoing killing of women who had worked to free the accused.

But when Elizabeth herself becomes hunted, the only chance of escape lies in Archer setting himself as bait.

Set to the backdrop of Interregnum England with uncertainty in the air for this new age, The Wicked of the Earth, is a historical thriller perfect for readers of S J Parris and C J Sansom.
