'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.
Davis Grubb was born in the Ohio River town of Moundsville, West Virginia in 1919 and died in New York City in 1980. He lived a various life, writing novels and short stories, screenplays, television treatments and working as a radio announcer. The Night of the Hunter was shortlisted for the 1955 National Book Award and in the same year was made into a legendary film starring Robert Mitchum as Preacher.
