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)

I must say that about half way through I really considered leaving this book unfinished. And only the fact that I don't usually do that made me continue. In the beginning I thouhht this guy so full of himself. The book was like an autobiography of a grown child. I did this, I dealt with that guy. He was part of a group of scavangers who did all they could to extract as much money as possible from the countries from the fallen Soviet Union. And he somehow tried to show us how bad the russians were, how loose their women were, how bad their leaders were and so on. The hipocracy was palpable. And yet, when Sergei Magnitski comes in the story picks up. From the on it was amazing, in a terrible way. The story itself is hearthbreaking and full of twists. Kudos to Browder for keeping up the fight and sticking to his beliefs that something must be done. It's worth finishing it. And it has plenty of insides of how the post-Soviet Russia operated in some areas.

Bare with it and it will provide.

This book reads as if was a fictional crime novel but it's one of the hardest hitting pieces of non-fiction you'll ever read (listen to). The stories of corruption and personal accounts of those fighting it are so moving it brings tears to the eyes.

this is a story the world should read about. How governmental lies and cover-up will no longer be tolerated.

I really enjoyed this book, a fascinating insight into Russia, the world of finance and politics.
A terrible story, made all the worse for being true. Despite that I leave the book slightly unsure on Bill Browder himself, whilst I don't doubt this happened I am uncomfortable with his position as the hero of the story. It makes me question the balance of the book. Still, a great listen.

An amazing and thought-provoking book
