description:.. Suzannah Lipscomb's investigation into the notorious
17th-century witch trials concludes with a profile of
Matthew Hopkins, the opportunistic puritan witch-hunter
who transformed paranoia about Satanism into a lucrative
business as he hanged hundreds of people for crimes they
could not possibly have committed. Making use of
contemporary reports, Suzannah paints a portrait of a
man who believed he could cross any boundary and break
any law to achieve his goals. Naming himself
`Witchfinder General', Hopkins toured the country
charging fees for his services, but Suzannah's research
reveals that ultimately, the public's distaste for
witches was not as strong as its hatred of being conned
by charlatans. Hopkins would eventually die of
tuberculosis in relative obscurity, but his malign
legacy lived on across the Atlantic, as witch-hunts
began in Salem, Massachusetts.
