Take "A Risk" with Cornwell's forensic thriller PDF Print E-mail

‘At Risk’ by Patricia Cornwell (Putnam, $21.95). Grade: A- 
‘‘At Risk” is the latest forensic thriller from Patricia Cornwell, known for her numerous Kay Scarpetta mysteries. But readers will care more about the main character, Winston Garano, than whether the case gets solved. That’s not a bad thing. Garano, also known as Win or Geronimo, is an investigator with the Massachusetts State Police. His father was black and his mother was Italian, giving Win his exotic good looks.  Win’s boss, District Attorney Monique Lamont, has sent him to Knoxville, Tenn., to attend the National Forensic Academy. She then orders him back to Boston to investigate a 20-year-old murder. The case involves a 73-year-old woman who was beaten to death in her own home - in Knoxville. Why, Win asks, would the state of Massachusetts care about her murder? ‘‘We solve some old case that people in the good ol’ South have left in a cardboard box for 20 years, and we’re heroes,” says the manipulative Lamont, who has her eye on the governor’s office. Cornwell skillfully blends her characters’ personal and professional lives into a thriller that is neither predictable nor mundane.
