"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.

Joseph Finder is the New York Times bestselling author of fifteen suspense novels, including House on Fire, The Fixer, and Suspicion. Two of his novels have been adapted into major motion pictures—Paranoia (starring Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman) and High Crimes (starring Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman). Four more have won the industry’s top best novel awards—Killer Instinct (the International Thriller Writers Award), Buried Secrets (the Strand Critics Award); Guilty Minds (the Barry Award), and Company Man (the Barry Award). Finder lives in Boston, Massachusetts.

Les Standiford is the New York Times Bestselling author of 25 books and novels, including LAST TRAIN TO PARADISE, now approaching its 40th printing, BATTLE FOR THE BIG TOP, winner of the Gold Medal in General Non Fiction from the Florida Book Awards, and BRINGING ADAM HOME, a #1 Wall Street Journal True Crime Bestseller. His novel SPILL was made into a feature film as was his book on Charles Dickens, THE MAN WHO INVENTED CHRISTMAS, starring Christopher Plummer and Dan Stevens. He is Distinguished University Professor and Founding Director of the Creative Writing Program at Florida International University in Miami where he lives with his artist wife Kimberly.
