Sin Killer is a 2002 historical novel by American writer Larry McMurtry.[1][2][3] It is the first, both in chronological and publishing order, of The Berrybender Narratives. Set in 1832, the book follows the adventures of a clan of eccentric British aristocrats and their retainers as they begin a hunting expedition up the Missouri River.
The title refers to the nickname given to frontiersman Jim Snow, a Berrybender ally who violently hates sin of all kinds.
