About this ebook
★★★ Discover America's First Killers ★★★
They murdered. They stole. And they did it all to excess. Unlike other bandits of early America, they didn't do it for the money--they did it for the thrill and love of blood.
They were the Harpe Brothers, and they have been called America's first true serial killers.
In this gripping narrative, the crimes and the lives of America's most notorious sibling killers are documented like a page-turning novel.
