The Front Hardcover - 2008
by Patricia Cornwell
The audacious new adventure of the At Risk teamfrom America's #1 bestselling crime writer.
When Patricia Cornwell introduced the quicksilver,cut-to-the-bone style and extraordinary cast ofcharacters of At Risk, the result was electrifying:'At Risk is Cornwell's finest novel. It works in every way possible fascinating characters, solid plot, great pacing and expertlycrafted prose' (St. Louis Post-Dispatch); 'Absolutely the best.Here's hoping we'll see more of Win, Monique, Nana and Sykesin the coming years. They are the best characters to emergefrom Cornwell's creative pen since . . . well, Kay Scarpetta' (TheDenver Post).
At Risk featured Massachusetts state investigator WinGarano, a shrewd man of mixed-race background and a notinconsiderablechip on his shoulder; District Attorney MoniqueLamont, a hard-charging woman with powerful ambitions and atroubling willingness to cut corners; and Garano's grandmother,who has certain unpredictable talents that you ignore at yourperil.
And in The Front, peril is what comes to them all. D.A.Lamont has a special job for Garano. As part of a new publicrelations campaign about the dangers of declining neighborhoods,she's sending him to Watertown to 'come up with adrama,' and she thinks she knows just the case that will serve.Garano is very skeptical, because he knows that Watertown isalso the home base for a loose association of municipal policedepartments called the FRONT, set up in order that they don'thave to be so dependent on the state much to Lamont'sanger. He senses a much deeper agenda here but he has noidea just how deep it goes. In the days that follow, he'll find thatLamont's task, and the places it leads him, will resemble ahouse of mirrors everywhere he turns, he's not quite sure ifwhat he's seeing is true.
'Falsehoods rule,' warns his grandmother. And they canalso kill.
This is the master writing at the absolute top of her game.You will never guess what lies behind The Front.
