That Grand Illusion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088264263)

A coming-of-age story of friendship and fear . . .

In 1979, crime and drug dealing continue to infiltrate North Sacramento. Meanwhile, the East Area Rapist continues terrorizing residents of Sacramento, and the police still don't know who he is.

Shari Davis and her best friend Janet have longed and planned to escape for years, and now, with money saved from their first year of working, they finally can.

But the East Area Rapist is still on the loose, and every shadow makes Shari look over her shoulder. As she and Janet drive south along the coast, carrying eight-track tapes and revolvers, she can't shake the feeling they're being watched.

Maybe she can't run from her fears after all.
