Browder - an American with huge investments in Russia - discovered that a large amount of tax he had paid had been stolen by the Russians. His lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, investigating the case was arrested and murdered by the corrupt police. Divesting himself of his funds, Browder has devoted his life to bringing justice to his slain friend and persuaded Congress to pass The Magnitsky Act which to Putin's fury blacklists the culprits. Browder now lives in London under protection. A riveting account of a corrupt and venal regime.
