This story reveals the fraud, brutality and government-level conspiracy within Russia, and showcases Browder's own journey to become a political rights activist. From bribery to heists, an art thief to large scale hedge funds, this story travels from New York to Moscow covering the murder of Sergei Magnitsky and all the crimes leading up to it. Red Notice is at once a cautionary tale and an unabashed uncovering of the deep corruption within the Russian government. In his retelling of the events, no bit of action or shocking betrayal is left out, and the story takes on a life of its own. Browder himself was a hedge fund manager who got embroiled in the twisting and turning dealings of corrupt Russian Interior Ministry officials.

Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder and One Man's Fight for Justice by Bill Browder is a high-stakes tale of corruption and death as shocking as it is true. Murder, high finance, scandal and justice-Red Notice has it all. With fraud, bribery, corruption, and torture exposed at every turn, Red Notice is a shocking but true political roller-coaster that plays out in the highest echelons of Western power. Browder's graphic portrait of the Russian government as a criminal enterprise wielding all the power of a sovereign state illuminates his personal transformation from financier to human rights activist, campaigning for justice for his late lawyer and friend. Bill Browder - the hedge fund manager who employed Magnitsky - takes us on his explosive journey from the heady world of finance in New York and London in the 1990s, through his battles with ruthless oligarchs in the turbulent landscape of post-Soviet Union Moscow, to his expulsion from Russia on Putin's orders. Red Notice is a searing expose of the wholesale whitewash by Russian authorities of Magnitsky's imprisonment and murder, slicing deep into the shadowy heart of the Kremlin to uncover its sordid truths. His farcical posthumous show-trial brought Putin's regime to a new low in the eyes of the international community. Magnitsky's brutal killing has remained uninvestigated and unpunished to this day.

His crime? To testify against the Russian Interior Ministry officials who were involved in a conspiracy to steal $230 million of taxes paid to the state by one of the world's most successful hedge funds. An emaciated young lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, is led to a freezing isolation cell in a Moscow prison, handcuffed to a bed rail, and beaten to death by eight police officers.
