She meets Elsie Sanders who relishes freedom after being kept in jail awaiting trial for murder in which the jury found her not guilty. The media dubbed her as Avenger- Woman. Elsie is able to chase Randall away but he is not through with either woman or the friends of the Avenger. He rapes Kandle in a cemetery and attacks Elise's friend Mary. He stalks them until Elise decides to uncover his identity to keep she and her friends safe.

The protagonist is a strong-willed woman who is determined never to be a victim. She realizes that in a violent society sometimes vigilante justice is the only recourse to get the vermin off the street.
