From the New York Times bestselling author of House on Fire, a breakneck thriller that marries the dynastic opulence of Succession with the tense and disorienting spycraft of The Americans.
Paul Brightman is a man on the run, living under an assumed name in a small New England town with a million-dollar bounty on his head. When his security is breached, Paul is forced to flee into the New Hampshire wilderness to evade Russian operatives who can seemingly predict his every move.
Six years ago, Paul was a rising star on Wall Street who fell in love with a beautiful photographer named Tatyana—unaware that her father was a Russian oligarch and the object of considerable interest from several U.S. intelligence agencies. Now, to save his own life, Paul must unravel a decades-old conspiracy that extends to the highest reaches of the government.
Rivaling the classic spy novels of the Cold War, The Oligarch’s Daughter is built for the frightening world we live in now.

About the book
John Corey knows better than to trust a quiet assignment.
After taking down a terrorist in Yemen, Corey ditches the red tape of the Anti-Terrorist Task Force and joins the Diplomatic Surveillance Group in New York—a so-called desk job monitoring Russian diplomats. Easy, right?

As Corey follows the trail, he uncovers a plot that screams Cold War revival, complete with espionage, cover-ups, and a weapon known only as the “radiant angel.”
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille, Radiant Angel is a prescient, pulse-pounding thriller with America in the crosshairs.

Hetty Deveraux expected to renovate her crumbling family estate into a boutique hotel. She did not expect to find a skeleton beneath the floorboards.
