November 2009. An emaciated young attorney at law, Sergei Magnitsky, is led to a freezing isolation cell in a Moscow prison, handcuffed to a bed rail, and beaten to loss of life by eight cops. His criminal offense? To testify resistant to the Russian Interior Ministry officials who were involved with a conspiracy to steal $230 million of fees paid to their state by one of the world's most successful hedge funds. Magnitsky's brutal getting rid of has remained uninvestigated and unpunished to this day. His farcical posthumous show-trial helped bring Putin's regime to a new low in the eye of the international community. Red Notice is a searing expose of the low cost whitewash by Russian government bodies of Magnitsky's imprisonment and murder, slicing deep in to the shadowy heart of the Kremlin to discover its sordid truths. Monthly bill Browder - the hedge fund manager who employed Magnitsky - can take us on his explosive voyage from the heady world of funding in New York and London in the 1990s, through his battles with ruthless oligarchs in the turbulent panorama of post-Soviet Union Moscow, to his expulsion from Russia on Putin's orders. Browder's graphic portrait of the Russian authorities as a criminal venture wielding all the power of a sovereign state illuminates his personal transformation from financier to real human rights activist, campaigning for justice for his late lawyer and friend. With scams, bribery, problem, and torture shown at every convert, Red Notice is a shocking but true politics roller-coaster that performs out in the highest echelons of European power.
