The Finder by Colin Harrison (F Harrison, New Books)

An edgy mix of corporate intrigue and urban gangster thriller is the crux of this novel. A Chinese immigrant running an illegal financial information business for shadowy figures in Shanghai has to go on the lam and her boyfriend, a ex New York City fireman must save her. Harrison occasionally mis-steps by laying on melodrama, with the main characters all dealing with personal issues, but his intricate descriptions of financial fraud schemes, and moments of action in the various boroughs of New York keep this story above water.
