November 2009. In a prison in Moscow, eight police officers beat Sergei Magnitsky to death. What was his crime? The young lawyer had testified against officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who had embezzled 230 million dollars, which had been paid to the state by one of the most successful mutual compensation funds. This brutal murder remains essentially unresolved and unpunished. In "Red Notice," Bill Browder, the man who hired the victim, chronicles how exactly the Russian authorities covered up the case and plunges the knife deep into the dark heart of the Kremlin to uncover its guilty secrets. The author takes us on an explosive journey, from the intoxicating world of finance in 1990s New York and London, to his own battles with ruthless oligarchs in the turbulent landscape of post-Soviet Russia, and his deportation from Russia by the order of Vladimir Putin himself. The gripping narrative also highlights his own transformation from investor to human rights activist fighting for justice. A political thriller, entirely true, filled with corruption, finance, fraud, and torture.
