Book Reviews of The Front
Book Review: "Cornwell at her best"
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Front" Patricia Cornwell's 2nd thriller in the serie's with the new team of Garano,Lamont,Stump and Nana is a story full of twist's and turn's that take you this way and that just when you think you are getting a handle on the plot.The main character is Win Garano, nicknamed "Geronimo". His nemisis is the politically ambitious D.A. Monique Lamont.Independantly wealthy and although Win saved her life she seem's to relish in trying to humiliate him, as with this latest project of her's, the unsolved sexual homicide of a british citizen in 1962 which she think's could be the work of the Boston Strangler.Lamont he enlist's the help of a cop nicknamed "Stump", who's nickname has nothing to do with the fact that she lost a leg below the knee in an accident.Win seem's to be fascinated with her,with her mind and with her beauty more than she is with him.Although the story is a brief one you can feel the emotional tension building betweem them, where's that going to lead to? While this is going on they also have to deal with a series of bank heist's and a possible case of blackmail.All this in a short story but this is Cornwell at her best. A fantastic read and I hope this team will develop to be around as long as Scarpetta's team.
