Blanche Wainfleet, known as the Finder of Lost Things, has always excelled at solving puzzles. In the winter of 1590-1, the twenty-eight-year-old wife of a London merchant faces a grave mystery. In late Elizabethan England, a time fraught with treason and religious strife, priest-catchers target Catholic households, leading to dire consequences for those who do not conform to Anglican services. When her youngest sister, Alison, falls in love with a Catholic gentleman and converts, she becomes Lady Otley's companion at Otley Manor. Alison is later arrested for attending mass and dies under suspicious circumstances in Colchester Castle, with rumors suggesting she was bewitched. Determined to uncover the truth about Alison's death, Blanche devises a plan to be imprisoned with Lady Otley and her household in Colchester's dungeon. Concealing her identity and connection to Alison, she pretends to seek conversion to Catholicism. Just as she begins to find answers, a royal pardon releases all female prisoners. Blanche accepts Lady Otley's invitation to join her household for further instruction in the faith. However, as she makes progress, a second murder threatens her life, putting her at risk from powerful figures on both sides of the religious conflict.
