Losing your mind in the 21st century seems to make a lot of sense in Oakland, CA, especially the way the early 2020s are going. Valeria isn't surprised as much as inspired when it happens to her shortly after her 30th birthday. Beginning with a case of self defense against two trigger happy cops, Valeria takes to the Oakland streets, with her husband as sidekick, to clean them up. She's not sure why, but the killings are satisfying her in ways she doesn't fully understand. Wracked with sleepless nights and a lost memory about her childhood, Valeria finds comfort in her vigilante justice. Something her girlfriend finds disturbing, to say the least. With the help of her best friends, Valeria hopes to save as many people as she can before getting caught. Which could be a very long time, as long as one detective named Pike stays off her trail. He believes he's on to a serial killer. Nobody believes him. Can Pike stop her from killing more men all by himself? And will he want to if he finally finds her? This is the first book of Valeria's journey to her past and future, where she finds her hidden childhood, that she has a seemingly well honed talent for murder and that not all enemies have to stay that way.
