Book excerpt: "'Innocent Acts of Evil' is the true story of how a young brother and his older sister commit the brutal murder of their parents under the instructions of the sister's boyfriend, who convinces the siblings that he is the Son of God and persuades them to join his three-person home-grown cult of the Twelve Knights of God's will. It is a story about cultism, brainwwashing and hijacked good intentions. The title of the book suggests that it is often what we trust, believe and love that can hurt us most. The story reflects the interracial tensions that contribute to these strained relationships. The boyfriend is an Indian, who takes advantage of the children's racial guilt and exploits it for his own material gain. He turns them against their 'racist' parents, using biblical rhetoric and emotional manipulation, and persuades them that their parents must be punished by God's will."--Back cover.
