The Night of the Hunter Summary

The Night of the Hunter by Davis Grubb

'The new crime and espionage series from Penguin Classics makes for a mouth-watering prospect' Daily Telegraph

Two young children hold the key to a secret stash of money - and a relentless psychopath is on their trail...

Harry 'Preacher' Powell, his fingers tattooed with LOVE and HATE, is out of prison and doing the Devil's work. He knows his ex-cellmate hid $10,000 somewhere. He knows how to charm his way into unsuspecting lives. And he knows where the man's family lives. As he hunts them down, a terrifying game of cat and mouse begins. One of the great chase novels, The Night of the Hunter is a savage tale of innocence and evil in the Depression-era South.

The Night of the Hunter Reviews

Davis Grubb's The Night of the Hunter remains the gold standard of southern noir. Grubb's unforgettably charismatic and psychopathic villain, Harry Powell, still has the power to flood your twenty-first century dreams with terror. -- Richard Price
A thriller which commands one's frozen attention. It is also a work of beauty and power and astonishing verbal magic. * New York Times *
