In Bitch Factor, bounty hunter Dixie Flannigan hauls a bail jumper – on trial for vehicular manslaughter in the death of a little girl – from South Dakota back to Texas in a blizzard, and hears enough of his story to wonder if he might be innocent. Once back in Houston, she begins investigating and uncovers a truly heinous crime. When she fingers the real culprit, Dixie finds herself not only fighting for the life of another child, but for her own life as well.
