The Front The second book Winston Garano series

Paperback

Condition: Good

At Risk featured Massachusetts state investigator Win Garano a shrewd man of mixed-race background and a notinconsiderable chip on his shoulder; District Attorney Monique Lamont a hard-charging woman with powerful ambitions and a troubling willingness to cut corners; and Garano's grandmother who has certain unpredictable talents that you ignore at your peril.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 public relations campaign about the dangers of declining neighborhoods she's sending him to Watertown to 'come up with a drama' and she thinks she knows just the case that will serve. Garano is very skeptical because he knows that Watertown is also the home base for a loose association of municipal police departments called the FRONT set up in order that they don't have to be so dependent on the state - much to Lamont's anger. He senses a much deeper agenda here - but he has no idea just how deep it goes. In the days that follow he'll find that Lamont's task and the places it leads him will resemble a house of mirrors - everywhere he turns he's not quite sure if what he's seeing is true.
