Summary, Etc. In Kingdom of Devils, historian Katherine Grandjean examines the terrifying crimes of the Harp brothers, often considered America's first serial killers. During the late 1790s, Wiley and Micajah Harp carried out a brutal series of murders across the frontier regions of Tennessee and Kentucky, leaving communities terrified and authorities unable to stop them. Beyond recounting the crimes themselves, Grandjean explores how the upheaval and economic hardships following the American Revolution created anger, instability, and violence in the young United States, offering a deeper look at the darker side of early American history.
