The Oligarch's Daughter by Finder, Joseph;

Long description:

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

"The excitement in The Oligarch's Daughter comes from its ever-surprising plot, as Paul navigates a world where friends become foes, villains can be allies and the path to salvation runs through his own past." - Wall Street Journal

"Joseph Finder is a writer of thrillers and mysteries, and he's focused on the financial world and with some connection to Russian oligarchs. His next novel is called The Oligarch's Daughter. When you read a novel by Joseph Finder, you're not just reading a story with a plot and some suspense. You're reading about a world of finance and legal connections and betrayals, and so forth. That's one thing a novel can do. It can provide interesting information to people who are absorbing it as they're reading a story." - Joyce Carol Oates, Writer's Digest

"Finder is at the top of his game, deploying a strong cast of complex characters in this cracking story." - Financial Times

"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)

"Joseph Finder alternates two suspenseful timelines . . . . With a master's degree in Russian studies and his membership in the Association of Former Intelligence Officers, Finder is very much at home with this tale of what some are now calling the new cold war. The writing is tight, the suspense is unrelenting, and the romance between Paul and Tatanya is well handled as well." - Associated Press

"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)

"In The Oligarch's Daughter, Joseph Finder delivers a searing, action-packed novel that handily wraps a love story inside a political thriller." - Shelf Awareness

"Bear with the book's sudden shifts of time, between Paul's life with Tatyana and his later disguised self, on the run with few reliable allies. It's Finder's very effective method of ramping up threat and suspense. The revelations of modern espionage here-like 'the only uncrackable safe is one that no one can find to crack'-come in quick bursts of surprise, seasoned by a gently sardonic viewpoint that echoes F. Scott Fitzgerald about the very rich, who 'are different from you and me . . . hard, and cynical where we are trustful.'" - New York Journal of Books

"With its breakneck pacing and constant stream of revelations, The Oligarch's Daughter is a truly riveting read. Finder skillfully keeps the reader guessing, ensuring that every page turn brings new surprises and heightened suspense. I just couldn't stop reading once I started. This spy novel was that exciting! Check this one out and you'll be glad you did." - MSN.com

"A tense and dizzying spy novel." - Vicksburg Post

"Joseph Finder taps into the public's fascination with oligarchs, the Russian ones and now the ones we have cropping up in the U.S. No matter where they live, oligarchs amass their wealth by cozying up to heads of state or those with political power. . . . The Oligarch's Daughter is a compulsive read." - Woman Around Town

"The suspense level is literally at the heart-in-your-throat range, and the pages feel like they are turning themselves. Joseph Finder has another classic on his hands and once again proves that he still has his finger on the pulse of Russian-infused thrillers." - Bookreporter.com

"This is an intense psychological thriller that starts off fast and never lets up. Author Joseph Finder has written one of the best thrillers of the year already." - Red Carpet Crash

"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,
