About this listen

November 2009. Sergei Magnitsky is led to an isolation cell in a Moscow prison and beaten to death by eight police officers. His crime? To testify against the Russian Interior Ministry officials involved in a conspiracy to steal $230 million in taxes. Magnitsky’s brutal killing has remained uninvestigated to this day.

Red Notice is a searing exposé of the Russian authorities responsible for the murder, slicing deep into the heart of the Kremlin to uncover its sordid truths.

Critic reviews

"Reads like a classic thriller, with an everyman hero alone and in danger in a hostile foreign city...but it’s all true, and it’s a story that needs to be told." (Lee Child)
All stars

I never thought I would feel an ounce of compassion for either lawyers or financiers but I was wrong. This is a 'can't put down' listen.
If only half of it is true then I am afraid it is a shockingly sad indictment of government cruelty.
Excellent narration by Adam Grupper.

Very well written

There is no denying this is a good listen. It is a true account laid out as a documentary/story and this format works very well. I felt that it was a bit drawn out towards the end but this is a minor niggle.
Enjoyable, illuminating and well worth a listen.

Intriguing

Red Notice is one of those books you may think won't interest you, but long before you finish it you're glad you took the chance.

Bill Browder's autobiography tells the story of how he came to be an investor in Russia in the immediate years following the fall of the USSR, through to his new role as a human rights activist, making an enemy of the most powerful man in the world along the way. It may all be familiar to you, or you may only be vaguely aware of the Magnitsky Acts adopted by governments across the world, but the story he tells is engrossing, heartbreaking, and finally uplifting - a reminder that honesty and integrity matter.

The style is very fluid and easy to listen to, aided by very good narration (accents and all), and you never once get bogged down in unnecessary detail. The final chapter is read by Browder himself, adding a very personal touch.

All in all, highly recommended.

an amazing story which recounts events that have lead up to some of the current geopolitical problems between Russia and the west.
A must read to understand the human rights abuses that authoritarian regimes undertake and how they affect people's lives.

Breathtaking & Moving
