| Summary: |
When a Chinese National working for an American-owned construction company is grabbed off the streets of Shanghai in broad daylight and his one-man security detail goes missing as well. Rutherford Risk, the company's international security contractor specializes in negotiation for the recovery of kidnapped hostages.The security company recruits two unique outsiders to do its bidding. Grace Chu is a forensic accountant hired to follow the money; John Knox is a civilian with unparalleled training in both combat and the street culture of Shanghai, brought in to support her. Grace's top-notch American education as well as her Chinese military service makes her an unassuming, but effective operative, while Knox's take-no-prisoners attitude provides the street smarts and arm twisting necessary to pursue the location of the hostages. |
