By the spring of 1645, civil war had extracted a terrible toll upon England.  Disease was rife, apocalyptic omens appeared in the skies, and idolators were detected in very shire.  In a remote corner of Essex two obscure gentlemen began interrogating women suspected of witchcraft, triggering the most brutal witch-hunt in English history.  "Witchfinders" is a spellbinding study of how Matthew Hopkins - the "Witchfinder General" - and John Stearne extended their campaign across East Anglia, driven by godly zeal.
