Raven Files series.
Jocelyn Steely, a.k.a. Raven, seeks vengeance on KATO, the North Korean spy agency that brainwashed and tortured her as a child. Though still recovering from PTSD and an involuntary addiction to KATO drug Gerex, Raven uses counter-espionage to turn the tables on KATO and save another girl from a similar ordeal. Plot thrills compensate for insufficient character development in this sequel to Crossing the Line.

Raven Files series.
At age eight, Jocelyn Steely was kidnapped and forced to become a spy for North Korean agency KATO.

Plot twists and action abound in this mature, graphic series-starter.
