Friction/Sandra Brown/410 pgs.

Crawford Hunt, a Texas Ranger, is in court awaiting the judgment for the custody of his five year-old daughter, Georgia. He has been sharing custody with his deceased wife's parents--and they are fighting him tooth and nail for sole custody of Georgia. Right when Judge Holly Spencer is ready to render her decision, an armed, masked gunman enters the courtroom and begins firing. Both Crawford and Holly survive, but who is the gunman, and is this a random act of violence? If not, what is his intention? There is drama, romance, and red herrings aplenty! It's fast, suspenseful, and pure Sandra Brown. Recommended!
