A witch hunt in the shadow of Salem

Set three decades after the Salem Witch Trials, this historical mystery brings the fear of accusation back to a Massachusetts Puritan community. In Promise Land, a string of deaths unsettles the villagers and revives suspicions of witchcraft. The investigation draws together Orphelia Dudley, whose family’s wealth and standing are tied to the slave trade, and Settie, a woman enslaved by that family. Their connection places the town’s panic alongside its entrenched hierarchies, as buried secrets become part of the search for the source of the killings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers of historical fiction set in Puritan New England.
  • For those interested in mysteries involving witch hunts, community fear, and secrets.
  • For readers seeking fiction that addresses slavery and social status in a historical setting.

Book overview

Thirty years after the Salem Witch Trials, a series of sinister deaths plagues Promise Land, Massachusetts, once a safe haven for Puritans. Frightened for their lives, the villagers assume the grisly murders were done by a madman, but soon fear there is something more devilish at play. What are the secrets buried deep in Promise Land, and why are they unearthing themselves now? Orphelia Dudley's family has made their fortune through the slave trade, enjoying religious and social status in Promise Land. As the town embarks upon another witch hunt to find the murderer, Orphelia and Settie, a woman enslaved by her family, become intertwined in a mystery to stop the deaths, mania, and fear gripping their town.
