The Risk Agent series is Ridley Pearson’s return to adult thrillers after years of writing children’s fiction. The books follow a corporate risk assessment specialist who gets pulled into increasingly dangerous situations in foreign countries. The first book is set in Shanghai, and later entries move to other international locations.
Published between 2012 and 2017, the four books have a globe-trotting feel that sets them apart from the Seattle-based Boldt and Matthews series. Pearson brings real-world details about international business and security into the plotting, giving the stories a grounded tension.
