Red Notice

November 2009. An emaciated young lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, is led to a freezing isolation cell in a Moscow prison, handcuffed to a bedrail, and beaten to death by eight police officers. His crime? To testofy against the Russian Interior Ministry officials who stole $230 million of taxes paid by his employer, financier Bill Browder.

Red Notice is Browder's searing exposé, a graphic portrait of the Russian government as a criminal enterprise wielding all the power of a sovereign state. It takes us on his explosive journey from the heady world of finance in New York and London in the 1990s, through his expulsion from Russia on Putin's orders and, ultimately, to his transformation from financier to human rights activist.

With fraud, bribery, corruption and torture exposed at every turn, Red Notice is a shocking but true political roller-coaster told by one of Putin's most wanted.
