Let Us Do Evil - E-book - ePub

Jeremiah looks up to 16-year-old "Beans", a natural leader and master manipulator, who points out to his younger friends that they are all helpless, at the mercy of a system which releases rapists and criminals from jail to prey again, a society that doesn't effectively protect its children from abuse. Beans reminds them that adults have all the power, which they repeatedly abuse. The group begins a series of "vigilances" to avenge their society's wrongs.
Understanding the need for ritual and mystery, Beans requires them to meet in a strange forest glade and provide primitive offerings to insure their success. Their covert actions continue to spiral beyond harmless mischief. Although hesitant at times, Jeremiah and his new-found love, Timothea, feel compelled to follow Beans' dictum that "the punishment should fit the crime" as their merciless retributions escalate from innocuous pranks to violence and mayhem.
