Colin Harrison on his book Risk at BookExpo America 2009

Watch this video to hear crime fiction author Colin Harrison discuss his crime novel Risk in a panel discussion at the 2009 BookExpo America (BEA). In this author interview, Harrison talks about crime and society, why he writes crime novels, why he writes about New York, adapting his serial novel into a book, and the relationship between writers and readers.

In Risk, George Young never thought of himself as a detective, but that's pretty much his vocation--an attorney at a top insurance firm, it's his job to pin down suspicious claims. But Mrs. Corbett, the rich, eccentric wife of the firm's founder, has it in mind to put George's skills to a peculiar assignment. With only a few months left to live, her one desire is to know the true circumstance of her son Roger's violent death. George's investigation leads him to Roger's mistress, a cagey Czech hand model named Eliska, who can cast a seductive spell simply by removing her gloves. Set against a volatile and vividly drawn Manhattan, Risk is prime Colin Harrison.
