Norwich is freezing. The Wensum is turning to ice, the warehouses are empty, and someone is carving Bible verses into front doors.
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Detective Eliza ‘Bish’ Barnaby has bigger problems than graffiti. Willoughby is lost somewhere in the city’s past, and every spare hour she has goes into finding him. Then a very popular footballer is found dead in a church vestry, a number daubed in blood on the wall above the body. The victim had been keeping a secret: map running.
Now the city is turning. Children are running feral. Neighbours make the sign against evil when Bish walks past. A preacher from 1658 is filling hungry bellies and empty heads. And one snowy morning, an entire street joins hands and walks, laughing, into the river.
The map runners won Norwich its freedom. Now Norwich is starting to wonder if they’re the reason it’s dying.
Bish has never backed down from a fight. But the city wants a witch.
And a witch must burn.
