Agnes Samuel is beautiful, and witty, and American: the kind of woman people remember. She arrives among the respectable citizens of Warboys, a sleepy Fenland village, like a cat among the pigeons. Soon she has insinuated herself into everybody's affections, and into the heart of the ancient Throckmorton family. To begin with, the enchantment Agnes casts prevents them all seeing quite how soon and how terribly things go wrong.
Nobody, of course, remembers another Agnes Samuel: a frightened girl wrongly condemned to death, betrayed by her wealthy neighbours the Throckmortons and hanged as a witch. Who would believe that so many centuries later she would return to exact her revenge? And if the Throckmortons had suspected, would it have saved them?
