THE PAST CAN FIND YOU ANYWHERE
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 US intelligence agencies. Now, to save his own life, Paul must unravel a decades-old conspiracy that extends to the highest reaches of the government.
Rivalling the classic spy novels of the Cold War, this is a breakneck thriller built for the frightening world we live in now.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Finder (the Nick Heller series) delivers a fitfully arresting but hard-to-swallow thriller about an investment analyst whose life gets turned upside down after he marries a free-spirited artist. The overstuffed plot proceeds along two main tracks: in the present, Paul Brightman has shed his identity and become Grant Anderson, a New Hampshire boat builder, only to be forced on the run after a hit man tries to kill him. Flashbacks reveal how, six years earlier, Brightman left his career on Wall Street after meeting photographer Tatyana Galkin to work for her wealthy father's shady investment company. Soon, Brightman realizes something nearly every reader will clock immediately: that he is working for an elaborate criminal organization with ties to the Kremlin. Though the plot generates some real suspense as Brightman attempts to escape the Russians using skills he learned from his paranoid, off-the-grid father, its momentum is hampered by too much backstory and too many fawning descriptions of the Galkins' homes and luxury goods. An over-the-top deus ex machina at the climax doesn't help matters. This is a misfire.
