About the Book

"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

"Joseph Finder has written some of the finest spy novels of our time, and he just keeps getting better. . . . I highly, highly recommend this unrelenting thriller!"—Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor, with Lincoln Child, of the Pendergast novels

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.

Critical Praise

“Nobody does man-on-the-run, excruciatingly suspenseful thrillers better than Joseph Finder . . . . Deep characterization, cliffhanger suspense, and a wealth of information ranging from Russian spies to survival in the woods and in public spaces make this one of Finder’s best.” — Booklist (starred review)

“Finder deftly fuses the essence of the best Cold War spy novels with modern, high-tech espionage thrillers. . . Creating compelling apprehension, this suspenseful thriller keeps readers off-balance and unsure whom to trust. Finder achieves a perfect one-sitting read.” — Library Journal (starred review)

"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

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

"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

“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 international bestselling author

"Joseph Finder is one of the undisputed masters of the thriller genre, 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

"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

The Firm on steroids—the kind of book the term page-turner was invented for.” — Linwood Barclay, #1 internationally bestselling author

"Joseph Finder combines various themes from his previous novels and creates his best book to date . . . . Nothing is predictable here, and the payoff is glorious. The Oligarch’s Daughter will be remembered as a classic years from now and should be used as a textbook to teach writers how to craft a perfect thriller. Is it too early to say this is not only the best book of the year but the best book of the decade?" — Jeff Ayers, First Clue
