Red Notice is a gripping narrative that combines elements of a financial caper, a crime thriller, and a political crusade. The book chronicles Bill Browder’s journey from being a successful hedge fund manager in Russia to becoming a vocal critic of Vladimir Putin’s regime.

This event transformed Browder’s life, leading him to embark on an unrelenting quest for justice, including the successful passage of the Magnitsky Act in the United States to punish those implicated in Magnitsky’s murder.
