"I stayed up way too late reading this book." according to Ian K.. I've read a lot of Russian and Soviet history and I am interested in hedge funds, so I picked this book off the Amazon Vine list. What I did not expect was a book that was so hard to put down that it would keep me up late reading.

Because of that, he became Putin’s number one enemy, especially after Browder succeeded in having a law passed in the United States that punishes a list of Russians implicated in the lawyer’s murder. A New York Times bestseller: “Red Notice does for investing in Russia and the former Soviet Union what Liar’s Poker did for our understanding of Salomon Brothers, Wall Street, and the mortgage-backed securities business in the 1980s. Putin famously retaliated with a law that bans Americans from adopting Russian orphans.A financial caper, a crime thriller, and a political crusade, Red Notice is the story of one man taking on overpowering odds to change the world, and also the story of how, without intending to, he found meaning in his life.. Bill Browder started out his adult life as the Wall Street maverick whose instinc

(The Toronto Star)“The financial thriller book category just met its match.” (Pensions and Investments)"Hard to put down Red Notice is part John Grisham-like thriller, part business and political memoir."
