When well-to-do Hester learns of her sister Mercy's death at a
Nottinghamshire workhouse, she travels to Southwell to find out how
her sister ended up at such a place. Haunted by her sister's ghost,
Hester sets out to uncover the truth, when the official story
reported by the workhouse master proves to be untrue. Mercy was
pregnant - both her and the baby are said to be dead of cholera,
but the workhouse hasn't had an outbreak for years. Hester
discovers a strange trend in the workhouse of children going
missing. One woman tells her about the Pale Lady, a ghostly figure
that steals babies in the night. Is this lady a myth or is
something more sinister afoot at the Southwell poorhouse? As Hester
investigates, she uncovers a conspiracy, one that someone is
determined to keep a secret, no matter the cost...
