When accountant Lu Hao, a.k.a. “Edward,” is abducted in Shanghai—along with Clete Danner, the American who’s been tailing him—the ransom note arrives at the doorstep of Rutherford Risk, an American security firm specializing in the extraction of hostages.
To negotiate the tricky operation, the firm recruits John Knox, whose knowledge of Chinese culture is matched by his combat prowess; and Grace Chu, a military veteran whose “follow the money” instincts make her indispensable. But as the kidnappers’ deadline approaches, Knox and Chu discover that all their training and expertise has not prepared them for the danger they face in Shanghai.
Ridley Pearson’s The Risk Agent blends geopolitical intrigue with psychological suspense.

The story line drags, is confusing and boring. Sorry, Ridley. Not your best.
