Hired to destroy a Russian oil baron, Webster discovers that his target’s weak spot is a diffident English lawyer who hides the money generated from his master’s vast criminal empire. Soon Webster’s questions cause the lawyer’s fragile world to crumble, forcing them both into a desperate race around the world to escape the oligarch’s vengeance. ChRis MoRgAn Jones worked at the world’s largest business intelligence agency for eleven years, advising Middle Eastern governments, Russian oligarchs, New York banks, London hedge funds, and African mining companies.

The Silent Oligarch is beautifully written, clean, and terse, but you won’t notice, because you’ll be reading just as fast as you can. Very highly recommended, and you’ll want more.” —Alan Furst, author of Spies of the Balkans and Night Soldiers “ An understated debut that carries a special resonance in the wake of Putin’s bareknuckled presidential victory . . . Jones handles the large cast of characters and shifting venues with grace.” —Bloomberg “ A beautifully written thriller . . . a smashing debut that will leave most readers anxious to follow Webster on his next assignment.” —Connecticut Post media Tied to The Penguin Press Publication of The Decent Billionaire National Publicity Online Advertising
