This Book is Rather Violent:
Based on the wow factor of the first novel in this series, I could hardly wait to start the second book, RAGE FACTOR. If you aren't into rape, violence and vigilante revenge, you may want to pass this one. This takes gritty to a new level - it is not for the faint-of-heart!
I really liked the fact that Dixie was still with her paramour, Parker Dunn, from the first story. However, there's plenty of angst between them. There's the issue of the dangerous nature of Dixie's job. Parker is worried that Dixie will get into something she can't handle. The opening chapters of this story prove Parker to be right to worry.
As a native Houstonian, I've enjoyed the generous sprinkling of Houston-area sites and addresses in this series. It is a nice change from the usual addresses in Los Angeles; is just me or are most of the bad guys in crime novels hanging out in LA & San Francisco? I'm glad to see that a few have moved to Houston.
This book has several things going on; it begins with an assault/rapist escaping conviction through his good looks and sincere smiles. The rapist has the prosecutor and Dixie in his sites for vicious retaliation.
In the meantime, Dixie has taken a bodyguard job - protecting the 16 year-old daughter of a famous actress. Threatening notes have been coming for weeks to the actress. The most recent one has promised that the stalker will take his anger out on the daughter.
At the same time, a vigilante group of unknown persons is wreaking vengeance on those miscreants who escape justice in the court system. Dixie is worried that she may know some of the participants. All these strands make for a well-paced book with lots of action - some of it grisly.

Another winner by Rogers
Professional bounty hunter Dixie Flanagan usually does not care whether her "skip" did the crime or not, but her latest returnee, Lawrence Coombs is so creepily evil she wants him executed. To her dismay and that of several of Coombs' victims, Lawrence's trial ends with a not guilty verdict.
While Dixie works as a bodyguard for a teenager, an assailant abducts Coombs, giving the sadist as brutal of a beating as he gave to his victims. Though Dixie firmly feels that Coombs got what he deserved, she condemns the action. Soon other individuals accused of abuse but freed begin to vanish. Dixie believes that no one, regardless of their motives, is above the law.
