Furies Unleashed Stephen Elder

College student Sandra Neuermann is abducted and brutally assaulted. She escapes her captors, but cannot escape the depression that follows. An alert counselor figures out what she needs: revenge! He refers her to Nemesis, a secret organization that targets rapists and sex traffickers. The field operatives of Nemesis are called "Furies" and they are formidable...and successful! Neuermann dismantles a cruel trafficking mob in New York City while Nemesis manages to keep below the government's radar. When Neuermann begins a relationship with a handsome and gentle elementary school teacher, the straight line of her life is disrupted. She struggles to find a balance between the two very different worlds of being a Fury and being in love. "Neuermann is a well-established protagonist... The ending may shock more than a few readers, but it definitely packs a dramatic punch... An assassin story that delivers action while shrewdly examining the consequences." -Kirkus Reviews
