About

From the New York Times bestselling author of House on Fire, a breakneck thriller that marries the dynastic opulence of Succession with the tense and disorienting spy craft of The Americans.

Paul Brightman is a man on the run, living under an assumed name in a small New England town with a million-dollar bounty on his head. When his security is breached, Paul is forced to flee into the New Hampshire wilderness to evade Russian operatives who can seemingly predict his every move.

Six years ago, Paul was a rising star on Wall Street who fell in love with a beautiful photographer named Tatyana—unaware that her father was a Russian oligarch and the object of considerable interest from several US intelligence agencies. Now, to save his own life, Paul must unravel a decades-old conspiracy that extends to the highest reaches of the government.

Rivalling the classic spy novels of the Cold War, The Oligarch’s Daughter is a breakneck thriller built for the frightening world we live in now.

Praise

"Joseph Finder has been one of the undisputed masters of the thriller genre for decades, and The Oligarch's Daughter is among his very best! It's a taut, emotional, and intelligent novel told at a breakneck pace that will keep readers fanning the pages till the end."
—Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Chaos Agent, a Gray Man Novel

"Joseph Finder has written some of the finest spy novels of our time, and he just keeps getting better. The Oligarch’s Daughter, his latest, rockets the reader into the terrifying story of Paul Brightman, who innocently falls in love with a Russian oligarch’s daughter and finds his life brutally overturned—forced to live under a false name, pursued by Russian killers, and forced to confront a malevolent conspiracy within the US government itself. On display is Finder’s intricate and fascinating knowledge of spycraft, Russia, and intelligence. I highly, highly recommend this unrelenting thriller!"
—Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author, with Lincoln Child, of the Pendergast novels

"Finder is back! Breakneck action, compelling guy-next-door protagonist and riveting modern day geopolitics equal a truly breathless Joe Finder thriller, let alone a dash of romance and one of the best wilderness action scenes ever. Come for the twisty plot, stay for the compelling character!"
—Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"This is Finder at his finest—a perfect everyman-in-peril story, first building an ominous drumbeat of menace, then exploding in action and intrigue and triumph. As good as it gets."
—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series

"The pages seem to propel themselves … Finder is a superb storyteller."
—David Baldacci

"The Firm on steroids—the kind of book the phrase page-turner was invented for."
—Linwood Barclay, internationally bestselling author of I Will Ruin You

"A pitch-perfect spy novel—flawless pacing, richly drawn characters, and a plot that never quits. These pages practically turn themselves."
—Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author
