Description

SHORTLISTED FOR THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION'S "ADRENALINE" CATEGORY

"Any new novel by Joseph Finder is a ticket to reading pleasure, and this one is hands down his best ever."—Stephen King


"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
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 spycraft 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 U.S. intelligence agencies. Now, to save his own life, Paul must unravel a decades-old conspiracy that extends to the highest reaches of the government.
Rivaling the classic spy novels of the Cold War, The Oligarch’s Daughter is built for the frightening world we live in now.

    Long book but keeps you on your toes the whole time and actually reads quick. The characters journey is very flushed out and with a lot of thrills that make it hard to put down.

    Good book, interesting characters, and lots of intrigue. Only one thing though, it feeds into my ever growing misanthropic view of the world and makes me distrust the governments of this world.
  • I couldn’t put it down.

    Excellent! I’m a big fan of detective stories and am often disappointed with the endings. But this author kept the excitement and plot going strong from the first page to the last page. Thank you for a great read! Usually if I don’t like the ending of a book I would swear not to read anymore detective stories, but now I have a new author to look forward to. Thanks!

    I thought I remembered this guy was a good author. This is a terrible book. Feels like it was written by AI.
  • Suspenseful and Thrilling

    For the first 1/3 of the book, I thought it was going to be a great read. Around the time the protagonist travels to Moscow it starts to unravel: inconsistencies, unreasonable scenarios/decisions that don’t fit with the character’s personality, huge plot holes in “tradecraft” that are unexplained, characters that are so poorly cobbled together that their pedigree is just comical. By chapter 101 the book had reached a tin foil hat crescendo of implausibility, and I couldn’t continue. This is only the second book ever that I haven’t finished. Would not recommend.
  • Preposterous

    Totally unbelievable, absurd in every sense of the word.
