Background on the book…
Based on true events, the novel follows the story of the largest mass homicide in Philadelphia’s city history. The Deerings, prosperous farmers in the southern section of Philadelphia, also known as Philadelphia’s first ward, are subject to the changing America of 1866.
With the Civil War over at last, and the nation getting back to its feet, the Irish immigrants are one family of few that have escaped the bloody war unscathed. Yet they are met by an unseen enemy, indeed a person thought to be a friend, thought to be family. This loving family would become a part of American History, of Irish history, and most of all Philadelphia history as the tragedy of their story would shake their city and their nation to its very foundations, so shocking, so sudden, after the worst time in America’s great history. 8 members of the Deering family, all murdered on one horrific day, by one man, for reasons unknown. One survivor of this tragedy, William Deering, from 1866, has now today over 80 immediate family members alone, who still live in and about the city. This book based on true events gives insight into the mind of a murderer, but more importantly, into the lives of an American family that should never be forgotten. Follow along as the Deerings live in a time of unknown and untold adventures, that leads to a dramatic, untimely ending. The Philadelphia First Ward Horror, written by G. Jordan Lyons, current student of the University of Indianapolis, is due to be published and for sale to the public by the spring of this year. Be sure to support Indianapolis’ own young new author as this piece of historical fiction is the first of many novels to come.
