The Oligarch's Daughter by Joseph Finder, 448 pages
Six years ago, Paul fell in love with a gorgeous Russian photographer, Tatyana, before learning that her oligarch father was the subject of investigations by several U.S. intelligence agencies. Still, Paul and Tatyana married, and he began managing her dad's occasionally legitimate investments. Six years later, Paul's living in a tiny town under an assumed name, and the Russian spies that he thought he'd escaped are back on his trail, predicting his every move as he tries to escape again.
I'm not generally a big fan of spy thrillers, particularly when they involve gang leaders and their thugs. However, this one was twisty and compelling enough to keep me reading. Were there plot twists and characters that didn't make sense to me, of course (Paul's dad and girlfriend are the big ones). But it's still worth a read if you're looking for a mafia-esque thriller to sink into.
