Review
"A gripping and disturbing story of the secret life of apparently normal people. At once horrific and engrossing" (Vincent Bugliosi, author of Helter Skelter)
"Uncomfortably compelling" (Time Out)
From the Publisher
The true story of 'the girl in the box'
This is as compelling a slice of sleazy Americana as you’re likely to come across. It’s the true story of how Colleen Stan was picked up by Cameron and Janice Hooker while hitchhiking and made their sex slave, her submission to her captors finally so total that she never tried to escape, even when she was allowed out to work. The story’s similar to although far less gruesome than that of Fred and Rose West – an apparently normal couple whose escalating sexual obsessions led them to commit heinous crimes. But while Fred and Rose were quintessentially English, Cameron and Janice Hooker couldn’t be anything but American. Perfect Victim is their story, a disturbing look at what lies under the surface of small-town America.
