Silvia, The Problem Solver

By James M. Josephson

Silvia shocks her Law School class with her Valedictorian Speech. The release of the criminals who raped her mother before murdering both her parents leads the honors student to carefully examine and investigate a system of Justice that cares more about codling the criminal than avenging the death of their victims.

Rejecting a career before the Bar, she becomes an Avenger of Blood. Silvia is by day a clerk in a law firm; but by night she hunts the evil human refuse who the courts release without any real punishment.
Deeply religious she is tormented by her chosen vocation; until strange alien visitors come to be her enablers. These beings and human beings not of this world aid and abet her in a vocation that she believes she has received from God.
Then to complicate things even further she falls for an educated and charming young man from the Caribbean.

Chapter 1: 2009 How it Began

Silvia Massenburg, laurel cum laud, rose from her seat on the platform and walked to the podium. She had rewritten her short speech at least twenty times trying to keep her deep personal hurt and anger from ruining her speech's impact on her classmates. She was speaking to the graduating class of one of Virginia's most prestigious Law Schools.

The audience was suddenly hanging on every word as Silva said, Yesterday the state of Virginia released three multiple murderers from prison. They were fifteen when they raped and murdered my mother; and then tortured my father before murdering him. My parents, two people that were sterling examples of god fearing law abiding citizens may never have their deaths avenged.

When my parents left our home one fall evening five years ago to attend the State Fair of Virginia: they had no inkling; that they would die violently sometime in the early morning hours of the following day. They had no way of knowing that they had seen their daughter for the last time; just as, I had no way of knowing: I would never see my mother and father alive again.

Like the vast majority of those whose relatives are murdered, I live with the knowledge that the killers will never be properly punished.

"I've been able to learn many things about the three young men who destroyed my family.
