Book Description

November 4, 2008
A teenager determined to end the reign of his abusive, alcoholic father is falsely accused of murder in A. P. Ri’Chard’s shocking novel

CAGED INNOCENCE

A noted Klansman has been killed, and the prime suspect is seventeen-year-old Larry Henderson. Complicating matters is Larry’s father, Officer Perry Henderson, who is deeply involved in the case. To the casual observer, the evidence against Larry is overwhelming. If convicted, he will surely receive the death penalty. Perry convinces his son to plead guilty in order to avoid death row and promises to do all he can to prove Larry innocent. But are Perry’s motivations pure? The father and son’s turbulent past has created a deep rift between them, and Perry is afraid of the teen’s repeated promises for vengeance. Believing he’s the one being set up for murder, Perry aims the evidence at his own son, allowing Larry to take the fall. Will his scheme succeed—or will Larry be proven innocent?

Format:Paperback
One day in Mississippi, 17 y/o Larry Henderson is arrested and wrongfully accused of murder of a white man. Mississippi was known to be one of the states that believed in racial inequality and a black man being accused of anything could get him convicted or hung. White men were being murdered one after another, but when one well known white klansman is murdered all evidence suddenly turns to Larry. Nomatter if Larry is guilty or innocent or if there is actual evidence against him, Larry must go down for the crime. The person closest to him makes sure he's convicted and that person is his father Officer Perry Henderson, the only black officer in that county. How can a father be adamant that his son must be convicted and do the time, why is this so important to him, why is one journalist ready to save Larry from his fate? This book holds these answers.

Caged Innocence is one tear-jerking book. It sets the scene in the deep south, the injustice, the racism, a father and son torn apart. This book is a masterpiece ready to be put on the big screen. Caged Innocence also goes deeper by reminding us what it means to be human and wrongfully accused. Mr. Richard I have to say this is by far one of the best books I have read and an EXCELLENT job well done. Can't wait to see this on the big screen. Kudos and u deserve more than 5 stars.
