Charlotte Mercer is a WASP trainee who hopes to fly for her
country. Her career nearly ends before it begins when an
army major removes her from training after she refuses his
proposition to do something other than fly. Ordered to work
at a defense plant with the FBI, she meets her new riveting
partner, Agent Eleanor Frazier. Char quickly goes from pilot
to Rosie the Riveter to undercover agent after a ring of
German spies. She never gives up hope of earning her silver
wings, even as she makes a perilous flight with a Nazi
demolitions expert holding a gun to her head.
Nemesis -not for the faint-hearted- is the second in a
series of books from author Vincent Cobb, which explore childhood
cruelty and psychopathic killings.
Cobb explores the dark side of life in a raw uncompromising style
which some might find disturbing. He also majors on the depressive
aspects of the victims – factors with which he can empathise as a
fellow sufferer.
“We all trust that childhood should be happy and contented and free
from fear and harm but in reality for an unfortunate minority their
early formative years are a catalogue of cruelty, terror and abuse.”
The first of his books ‘Leave a light on for Jesus’ published in
2005 was essentially a true story and Cobb drew heavily from his own
childhood experiences in the North of England during the 1940’s of
a violent abusive father, a lack of help from social services and
betrayal by the catholic church.
There is a commonality of the fragility of the mind and subsequent
torment this creates in this previous book, in Nemesis and also in
his third book ‘Contrition’ due to be published next year.
‘What really happens to the “lost children” of this world and what
really goes on in the mind of a serial killer. Nemesis links a young
psychic girl’s vision to a paedophile serial killer’s seven young
victims and her efforts to identify the murderer to a young woman
police officer before a total mental collapse. The killer remains at
large, the horror ceases but for how long?”

Most of us have moments we'd rather forget. Diana Archer is living a lifetime of those moments. She's anxious, dissatisfied, and fearful, and her own behaviors seem strange and unfamiliar to her. She's running hard, yet feels like she's standing still.
But all that changes when Diana meets a powerful teacher who speaks directly to her heart. She awakens to a profound awareness of the preciousness of life and discovers that the secrets of the universe really aren't secret. And although her path is shadowed by mystery and peril, she finds miracles and romance as The Way of Opportunity reveals to her, and to us, the inner meaning of the most essential truths of all: life, love, and happiness.
Diana's story gives us the tools and the courage we need to transcend our destiny, and shows us how to create happier relationships, reclaim our vitality and well being, attain financial stability, and place ourselves in harmony with the natural world. Diana is searching for the answers that everyone is seeking, and by finding them, teaches us all...
