But then the Harpes came—two mysterious brothers, Micajah and Wiley, with three devoted women followers, leaving a wake of ghoulish and seemingly motiveless murders—men, women, children, infants, bludgeoned, stabbed, shot, or set on fire. Earlier Magby had participated in a fruitless attempt to capture the brothers, but word comes that they are seeking him to enact retaliation. Now Magby must somehow stop the brothers before they can kill his wife and children.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough fiction, \u003ci\u003eA Wilderness of Tigers \u003c\/i\u003ebased upon one of the earliest recorded serial killer rampages.
