- Risk by Colin Harrison. Manhattan insurance attorney George Young agrees to help Mrs. Corbett, the widow of his firm's founder, with a minor mystery. How did Corbett's son, Roger, spend his final hours before a garbage truck struck him dead? It brings us questions we might ask ourselves, and we find some answers we might not have known. It is an extraordinary simple novel that opens our world and our minds. It is a Risk we might not have taken if not for Colin Harrison. Highly Recommended. prisrob The Finder: A Novel Break and Enter: A Novel. George Young, a world-weary insurance lawyer in New York City, has taken his fair share of knocks and bruises in the business of credit, bankruptcy, and fraud cases. One Friday he receives an unusual request from the elderly and ailing widow of Wilson Corbett, the founder of the firm George has worked for all his life. At first it seems one more unwanted call on his time, but loyalty to his.
In Risk, Harrison's take on the world wide web has changed. He views it as an evil thing, a place where--with just a few keystrokes--one can find out the complete tale of someone else's life. I also very much enjoy the way Harrison handles relationships. In Risk, George Young has a comfortable long-term marriage and it grounds him. His wife trusts him--even if it's a trust based on comfort and a certain "I hope you know what you're doing, George," kind of gentle nagging. “As an intriguing mystery about families, the power of money, and the insidious risks of living in a volatile post-modern world, Colin Harrison's seventh novel Risk is a sophisticated literary mystery that is sleek, stylish, and surprising,” —www.doorway.ru Risk. by.
