Following his explosive international bestseller, Bill Browder returns with a gripping thriller detailing his transformation into Vladimir Putin's number one enemy. This journey began when Browder's young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was brutally murdered in a Moscow jail. Determined to seek justice for Magnitsky, Browder set out to uncover the perpetrators behind the $230 million tax refund scheme that led to his lawyer's death. As Browder and his team traced the money flowing from Russia through the Baltics and Cyprus to Western Europe and the Americas, they were shocked to find that Putin himself benefited from the crime. In response to law enforcement efforts to freeze the illicit funds, Putin retaliated with a campaign of intimidation, employing honey traps, pursuing Browder through cities, and even murdering more of his Russian allies. He enlisted top lawyers and politicians in America to target Browder, showcasing his willingness to protect his wealth at all costs. The narrative reveals how Browder's fight against Putin's corruption ultimately influenced Russia's interference in the 2016 US presidential election. This tale combines elements of a financial caper, international adventure, and a passionate plea for justice, illustrating how one individual can confront one of the world's most ruthless villains.

Musím žiť s vedomím, že existuje reálna šanca, že ma Putin alebo jeho prisluhovači môžu zavraždiť. Ako väčšina ľudí, ani ja netúžim po smrti. Nemôžem uviesť všetky opatrenia, ktoré som prijal na ochranu seba a rodiny, no jedným z nich je táto kniha. Ak by ma zavraždili, budete vedieť, kto to spáchal. Ak sympatizujete so Sergejovým tragickým osudom, podeľte sa o tento príbeh s každým, koho poznáte. Takýto čin pomôže udržať nažive ducha Sergeja Magnitského a má väčší význam ako armáda mojich telesných strážcov. V novembri 2009 bol mladý právnik Sergej Magnitský uväznený v moskovskej väznici, kde ho ôsmi policajti ubili na smrť. Jeho zločinom bolo svedectvo proti predstaviteľom ruského ministerstva vnútra, ktorí ukradli 230 miliónov dolárov. Vražda Magnitského ostala nevyšetrená a vinníci neboli potrestaní. Posmrtný súdny proces bol fraškou, ktorá diskreditovala Putinov režim. Faktografický román odhaľuje kamufláž, ktorou sa ruské úrady snažili skryť pravdu o Magnitského uväznení a zavraždení. Bill Browder, jeho zamestnávateľ, pozýva čitateľov na cestu od vrcholu finančníctva v New Yorku a Londýne až po jeho vykázanie z Moskvy na Putinov príkaz. Browder vykresľuje ruskú vládu ako zločinecké zoskupenie a zachytáva svoju premenu na ľudskoprávneho aktivistu, ktorý organizoval kampaň za spravodlivosť pre Magnitského. Tento šokujúci, no pravdivý príbeh je plný hrozivých zvratov a korupcie.
