About this ebook

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.

When I started reading this book, I wondered if it was written by another writer using Finder's name, the way other authors sell their branding. I just could not believe how lame the story really was. From the first page onward, it was in serious need of a good editor. The plot was more confusing than a Trump speech and just as hard to believe. I usually like Finder's books, but this could have been written by a sixth-grader.

Pleasant Surprise at a great price, what more can you ask for. I was hesitant to get this audio book, but was glad that I did because it kept my interest the whole way through.

3/4th of the story was great. I liked the idea of the ending, but it was rushed and not fully developed like the rest of the storyline. That was disappointing.
