However, these poor women have fallen for a dark, demented man that will be the cause of an international man-hunt, started by none other than Dog the Bounty Hunter. This is a really captivating book, that truly defines the craziness of sexual predators. This books shows how truly sinical men with money can be. Murder of Innocence will have you second guessing every rich man you know. One of the best quotes from the book: "A surfer-bro, trust-fund kid? I think I can handle him." ( ) Two true crime stories. The first is about an heir to the Max Factor wealth., Andrew Luster. He drugged and raped numerous women and made videos of these events. Very disturbing story. . The second is about an FBI agent who has an affair with an infomant who disappears....Both stories easy to read . James Patterson's true-crime thrillers, Murder of Innocence, gets a solid 3 stars from me. It was a quick, easy read...something to pass the time with. However, nothing really stood out to raise my rating. It isn't a bad read, just average to me compared to Patterson's other works. The book contains 2 separate true-crime thrillers. I found myself getting into the first one, Murder of Innocence. I wanted to kick the protagonist right in the balls. If this story was a stand-alone I would up my rating to 4 stars. The second story, A Murderous Affair, was a bit on the boring side, almost predictable, hence the 3 rating. On a positive note, I did find that learning the characters and visualizing their development was a bright spot in that story. I liked the book; I just wasn't over the moon about it. Murder of Innocence is a true crime book which includes 2 stories. **Review contains spoilers** Murder of Innocence tells the tale of Andrew Luster, the great grandson of Max Factor.
