SLCL Presents Bestselling Author of International Espionage Joseph Finder

St. Louis County Library Foundation’s Favorite Author Series and Left Bank Books are pleased to host acclaimed international thriller author Joseph Finder for his latest spy novel “The Oligarch’s Daughter.” 

The event will take place on Friday, January 31, 7:00 p.m. at the Clark Family Branch, 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63131. Books will be available for purchase and signing from Left Bank Books.

From the New York Times bestselling author of “House on Fire,” Joseph Finder presents a breakneck thriller that marries the dynastic opulence of “Succession” with the tense and disorienting spycraft of “The Americans.”

Paul Brightman is a man on the run, living under an assumed name in a small New England town with a million-dollar bounty on his head. When his security is breached, Paul is forced to flee into the New Hampshire wilderness to evade Russian operatives who can seemingly predict his every move.

Six years ago, Paul was a rising star on Wall Street who fell in love with a beautiful photographer named Tatyana—unaware that her father was a Russian oligarch and the object of considerable interest from several U.S. intelligence agencies. Now, to save his own life, Paul must unravel a decades-old conspiracy that extends to the highest reaches of the government.

Rivaling the classic spy novels of the Cold War, “The Oligarch’s Daughter” is built for the frightening world we live in now.

Joseph Finder is the bestselling author of 15 suspense novels, including "House on Fire,” “The Fixer,” and “Suspicion.” Two of his novels have been adapted into major motion pictures—"Paranoia" (starring Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman) and “High Crimes” (starring Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman). Four more have won the industry’s top best novel awards—"Killer Instinct" (the International Thriller Writers Award), “Buried Secrets” (the Strand Critics Award); “Guilty Minds” (the Barry Award), and “Company Man” (the Barry Award).
