After
ten years in the Houston DA's office, watching the guilty get
off on technicalities, Dixie Flannigan was hardened,
worn-out, and ready for a more hands-on style of justice. So
she left it all behind to become a bounty hunter. Now, free to
bring in criminals with no holes barred, she's already a local
legend in the jails and courtrooms for her combination of brains,
cunning, and macho style. But she's about to discover that being
tough as nails is harder than it looks.
When her old friend Belle
Richards - "Texas's Hottest Defense
Lawyer" - calls in a favor two nights before Christmas,
Dixie has no intention of taking the job. If she doesn't show
up for her family's Christmas dinner, she'll be in the doghouse
again. Then Dixie finds out Belle's client is an accused child
killer who ran down an eleven-year-old girl during a drunk and
claims not to remember it. Parker Dann looks guilty as hell to
the jury, and Belle is sure Dann's going to jump bail to save
himself ten-to-twenty in prison. Dixie tells herself that she
is taking the job to see that justice is served and Dann faces
his punishment, but she's really out for some private revenge
on the child predators of the world. But what she should have
remebered - and what she's about to learn the hard way - is that
Lady Justice herself can be a bitch.
