In the beginning of the nineteenth century, the two murderous Harpe brothers, loyal to one another but violently at odds, go on a year-long killing spree in the American frontier, dragging with them the three wives they share between them; women who form a triangle of dependency, loyalty, jealousy, hatred, love, and betrayal.
The Door That Faced West is the bloody tale of America's first serial killers, Wiley and Micajah Harpe, told from the point of view of one of the three wives, the sixteen-year-old daughter of a minister. A piece of history unknown to most, the story takes place shortly after the American Revolutionary War, when communication was poor between settlements in the frontier territories of Tennessee and Kentucky, and sociopathic violent criminals literally got away with murder.
The novel has numerous illustrations.
Genre: Historical
