Summary of Christine McGuire & Carla Norton's Perfect Victim

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Red Bluff is a small town in northern California that is the capital of Tehama County. It is a place with few secrets, as broken marriages, accidents, and affairs are big news. But it is a good place to raise a family. #2 Colleen Stan, a 20-year-old college student, hitchhiked her way across America in 1977. She left Eugene, Oregon, that morning at about eleven, when her roommates Alice and Bob drove her to the freeway. She stood at the side of the road under the gray Eugene sky looking virtually indistinguishable from any number of hitchhikers. #3 When you drive east on Highway 36, the fringes of Red Bluff soon fall behind. The road climbs past pastures into hills of oak strewn with chunks of lava as it heads toward Mt. Lassen, a dormant volcano that heaved off its mountaintop in 1914. #4 The head box is a terrifying device that was used on Colleen. It is made of plywood and is about the size of a hatbox, but it is surprisingly heavy. It is suffocatingly hot and claustrophobic, and it muffles all sound.
