The Executioners is a psychological thriller-suspense novel written by John D. MacDonald, published in 1957.[1]

The plot concerns a lawyer being stalked and tormented by a criminal he helped put in prison.

It was filmed twice under the title Cape Fear, once in 1962 and again in 1991. The first film adaptation is more faithful to the novel, with the 1991 adaptation being considerably more brutal and violent.[1]
