(See: landlord) , her old friend Garnish and his family, and an occasional modeling job. Then Fran befriends an old homeless man who tells her of a "snatch" he has seen of a young girl.

One thing leads to another, and Fran finds herself in trouble because, of course, things are not what they seem on the surface. Hicks reads the part of Fran with just the right amount of feistiness, cynicism and young idealism the character calls for. She does it so well I hope she narrates any future Fran Varady novels.
