Stead is a wonderful writer whom I need to read more of, having only read All Visitors Ashore and My Name Was Judas. Risk doesn't quite grab me as much as either of those did, although it's well-written. I think the problem (for me) is that the protagonist seems to drift through life without taking any actual decisions or actions. Quite possibly that's the point, given the title, but it doesn't work for me. Also there's the sense that Stead doesn't quite know the book's setting (the London banking sector) well enough - some of the details don't ring true. Nonetheless, it's Stead, so it's never going to be less than good. ( )

Recently divorced New Zealander Sam Nola returns to London, where he spent two years in his early twenties. It is early 2003, and on both sides of the Atlantic the case for military intervention in Iraq is being made - or fabricated. But life for Sam has never been better: a grown-up, half-French daughter from a long-ago affair has recently got in touch, and he has walked into a lucrative role in the booming banking sector. It is only when he learns of the deaths of two friends within a week that intrigue begins to intrude on his contentment and life begins to feel a little more precarious.
