Bill was reading Red Notice when Dr Anne visited Canada recently. He snuck away into a corner and stayed up until 01.30 to finish it.
This is a terrifying read of high finance, murder and one man's fight for justice. Bill Browder didn't want to be an academic, he wanted to be a capitalist in the east of Europe. His grandfather had been a communist leader in the US original from Eastern Europe. His father and brother were academics. Bill went to Poland, Hungary and eventually found his fortune in Russia in the 90s and 00s. Everything went sour...
The story of Russia's oligarchs, corruption, lies, torture strikes home as this is happening in our lifetime.
This was a compulsive read earning a 8.5/10.
