The cause? Arsenic poisoning. The suspect? Hiswife, Betsey. The chief witnessesagainst her? A hired girl, Eveline Deal, and the local apothecary, James Logan. The evidence? Eveline claims she saw Betsey put a pinch of white powder inLeonard’s coffee. Betsey Reed, a womanwho dabbles in herbal healing, is known about town as a witch.

As the gossipand the circumstantial evidence mount, Betsey finds herself under the shadow ofa trial—and a noose.

A historical crime inspired by the true story of Betsey Reed, for fans of The Trial of Lizzie Borden and The Good Sister, LeeMartin’s latest weaves a tale of a pinch of white powder, a scorched paper, a communityhungry for a villain, and a young girl’s first taste of revenge—but above all,of the contradictions and imperfections of the human heart.
