Again, written by the attorney in the case so they could get their 15 minutes of fame. Apparently the victim in this case didn't get a book deal but the attorney did. Hmmm. Would have like a little more from the victim herself about how she survived and dealt with the aftermath of this ordeal ( ) Please don't judge me too hard for marking this book as "looks-interesting". Actually you know what? Judge me all you want; I don't care. This book actually does look interesting.

"True crime at its most shocking, most harrowing, and . . . most thought-provoking."--Booklist In 1997 twenty-year-old Colleen Stan left home to hitchhike from Oregon to California. Seven years later she emerged from hell, the victim of a bizarre and extraordinary crime. This is Colleen's incredible true story, told by the determined young district attorney who prosecuted the man who had forced her to endure years of sexual perversion . . . and held her captive in a coffin-like box under his and his wife's bed. A story of riveting psychological intensity and gripping courtroom drama, Perfect Victim reveals the whole truth about Collen Stan's real-life nightmare . . . and the psychopath who enslaved her body and her mind. "Horrifying!"--The Cincinnati Post "Hard to put down!"--Chicago Tribune "A gripping and disturbing story of the secret life of apparently normal people. At once, horrific and engrossing."--Vincent Bugliosi, author of Helter Skelter No library descriptions found. |
