Following his international bestseller Red Notice, Bill Browder returns with another gripping thriller that tells how he became Vladimir Putin's number one enemy by exposing Putin's campaign to steal and launder hundreds of billions of dollars and murder anyone who stood in his way.

When Bill Browder's young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail, Browder made it his life's mission to track down his killers and ensure they faced justice. The first step in this mission was to uncover the identity of those behind the $230 million tax refund scheme for which Magnitsky was killed. 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 discover that Vladimir Putin himself was a beneficiary of the crime. As law enforcement agencies began freezing the funds, Putin retaliated. He and his cronies set up traps, rented servers to track Browder through cities, murdered more of his Russian allies, and recruited some of America's most prominent lawyers and politicians to bring him down. Putin would stop at nothing to protect his money. As Freezing Order reveals, it was Browder's campaign to expose Putin's corruption that prompted Russia to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. A financial adventure, an international adventure, and an emotional plea for justice, Freezing Order is a timely and poignant moral tale about how one man can take on one of the world's most ruthless villains.
