Vengeance Awakened

from amnesia to justice

An amnesiac patient with zero identity recovers to traumatised memories of cruel, overt prejudice and a vicious almost lethal attack. This is a past she's destined to relive. A respected programmer but also a vengeful hacker who had uncovered sinister secrets.
