Her
ten years as a prosecutor showed Dixie the difference between
law and justice. But not even she can believe a sleaze like
Lawrence Riley Coombs, on trial for a sadistic rape, will walk
- especially after jumping bail and beating her up when she
went to bring him in. But Coomb's smooth good looks and powerful
connections are enough to sway a jury. Set free, he leaves
the courtroom with a salacious whispered threat of revenge
to Assistant DA Brenda Benson, Dixie's longtime friend.
Dixie's
soon distracted from her outrage by a job that's cushy, for
a change: bodyguarding Sarina Page, a bright, precocious
Hollywood kid whose mother is being menaced by a stalker.
For further distraction, Dixie's being pressured by the new man
in her life, Parker Dann, to find a less dangerous line of work.
But
Dixie can't seem to divorce herself from danger. When a vigilante
group abducts Coombs and gives him a brutal taste of his own
medicine, she can't resist doing a little investigating to see
if Brenda could possibly be involved. As she moves in on the
kidnappers, other high-profile beneficiaries of revolving-door
justice meet with outlaw reprisal that swiftly spins out of Control.
