"Eddie Lee Sexton is evil incarnate. Like Charles Manson, he exercised
a cult-like mind control over others who did his dirty work. But
unlike Manson, both Sexton's victims and his subjects were his very own
flesh and blood." As strong as they are, these words from an assistant
district attorney barely hint at the depravity hidden for years within
the Sexton family. Strange notions about "Futuretrons" and hand
markings that convey absolute power, revelations of incest and physical
abuse, bodies buried in the camping area of a Florida state park--
House of Secrets has so many layers of weirdness that it will amaze
even seasoned readers of true crime. Lowell Cauffiel has a talent for
combining quotations from interviews and unembellished facts into prose
that reads like a novel. Two people are dead, and the children who
suffered the cruel fate of being born into the Sexton family may never
completely heal from their injuries--but at least their story has been
told.
