Summary:
Following his explosive New York Times bestseller Red Notice, Bill Browder returns with another explosive and compulsive (Stephen Fry) thriller chronicling how he became Vladimir Putin s number one enemy by exposing Putin s campaign to steal and launder hundreds of millions of dollars and kill anyone who stands in his way. When Bill Browder s young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail, Browder made it his life s mission to go after his killers and make sure they faced justice. The first step was to uncover who was behind the $230 million tax refund scheme that Magnitsky was killed over. As Browder and his team tracked the money as it flowed out of Russia through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to Western Europe and the Americas, they were shocked to discover that Vladimir Putin himself was a beneficiary of the crime. As law enforcement agencies began freezing the money, Putin retaliated. He and his cronies set up honey traps, hired process servers to chase Browder through cities, murdered more of his Russian allies, and enlisted some of America s top lawyers and politicians to bring him down. Putin will stop at nothing to protect his money. As Freezing Order reveals, Browder s campaign to expose Putin s corruption was a factor behind Russia s intervention in the 2016 US presidential election. At once a financial caper, an international adventure, and a passionate plea for justice, Freezing Order is mandatory reading for anyone who wants to understand the tactics of modern autocracy, (Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Twilight of Democracy). It is a stirring morality tale about how one man can take on one the world s most ruthless villains and win.
