The Oligarch’s Daughter

Finder (Nick Heller series; Judgment; The Switch) deftly fuses the essence of the best Cold War spy novels with modern, high-tech espionage thrillers. Grant Anderson is a boatwright in picturesque Derryfield, NH. When his buddy, a charter boat captain, needs him to fill in for him on a fishing charter, Grant is eager to take the boat out. The client tells Grant he looks familiar and calls him “Paul.” It seems like a case of mistaken identity, but in fact, Grant’s past is about to make a dangerous return. Six years ago, Paul Brightman disappeared from his life as a Russian oligarch’s son-in-law and informant for the U.S. government. Somehow, his new identity has been compromised. With the FBI and Russian operatives in hot pursuit, Paul escapes into the wilderness, hampering his tech-reliant pursuers. He is desperate to reach someone who can help, and readers will be breathlessly following along.
