The Casebook of Dr Simon Forman - Elizabethan Doctor and Solver of Mysteries.
In the Autumn of 1592, Dr Simon Forman is invited to spend a few days in Pinner where the country air should do him good. But this rural retreat harbours deadly secrets.
In the woodland, a group of morris dancers is intent on torturing Old Mother Saxton for witchcraft. Meanwhile, a marriage has taken place in the local church that will end in disaster. When one of the newly-weds is murdered who is to blame? Is it a band of cut-throats from the outskirts of town, or a spurned lover much closer to home? As one evil deed is followed by another the townsfolk believe they are under a witch's curse. Only Simon can reveal the truth, but will he be able to convince them they are wrong to kill the witch?
