The Night of the Hunter
1020 W. Bryn Mawr Avenue Chicago
Inspired by the crimes of West Virginia serial killer Harry Powers, who was executed in Grubb's home town in 1932 for the murders of two widows and three children, The Night of the Hunter is about Henry "Preacher" Powell, who has LOVE tattooed on the knuckles of his right hand and HATE on those of his left, and preys on widows in Depression-era West Virginia. He zeroes in on Willa Harper and her two children, John and Pearl, who he is convinced know where their late father has hidden ten thousand dollars.
