The Haweaters
Books | Fiction / Mystery & Detective / Historical
Vanessa Farnsworth
The Haweaters brings to life the violent, real-life double-murder of Charles and William Bryan by two members of the Amer family on Manitoulin Island in 1877. A murder case well known in its day, it featured a wealthy landowner determined to destroy his impoverished neighbour. It's a tale of treachery, gossip, drunkenness, arson and the merciless deaths of two not-so-innocent victims.
