Description
Don't miss the latest breakneck thriller from NEW YORK TIMES bestseller JOSEPH FINDER.
Called 'THE FIRM on steroids' by Linwood Barclay, THE OLIGARCH'S DAUGHTER is available now.

There, hidden in the walls of his father's attic, Rick finds something that could change his life: bundles of cash worth millions. He knows he shouldn't spend it without asking where it came from. But his bed-bound father can no longer speak. What Rick doesn't realise is that, if he could, he'd tell his son just how much danger he is in...

The thriller to read this year -- Lisa Gardner Former CIA agent Finder [...] is a professional's professional when it comes to thrillers, a man who can shape a story and tell it with an elegance and simplicity that marks it out. This novel is exactly that * Daily Mail * Finder has the storyteller's gift. The narrative is tight, the observation acute and the plot is jaw-clenching. A great summer read * The Times * I found I was turning the pages faster and faster as I read on. This was a great read with believable characters and an even more believable plot. I look forward to reading more books by Joseph Finder * Mystery People * This is Finder at the top of his game, but the kind of orchestration suspense that guarantees a one- or two-sitting reading * CrimeTime *More details
