Description

In "The Finder", Harrison spins the story of a young, beautiful, secretive Chinese woman, Jin-Li, who gets involved in a brilliant scheme to steal valuable information from corporations in New York City. When the plan is discovered by powerful New Yorkers who stand to lose enormous sums of money, Jin-Li goes on the run. Meanwhile, her former lover, Ray Grant, a man who was out of the country for years but has recently returned, is caught up in the search for her. Ray has not been forthcoming to Jin-Li about why he left New York or what he was doing overseas, but his training and strengths will be put to the ultimate test against those who are unmerciful in their desire to regain a fortune lost. Ray is going to have to find Jin-Li, and he is going to have to find her fast.

Reviews

PRAISE FOR 'THE HAVANA ROOM 'Where Harrison excels is in gradually stripping away the facade of normality to reveal New York's corrupt underbelly ... Harrison's sense of atmosphere and character is so strong that I relished every page' Daily Telegraph 'Writing with striking assurance, Harrison brings to a John Grisham-like story a stylistic panache and a depth of characterisation Grisham never attempts, without forfeiting his page-turning grip on the reader' Sunday Times 'Compelling and suspenseful, this is entertainment with a wicked edge' Guardian
