Summary of Red Notice by Bill Browder

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Summary of Red Notice by Bill Browder Browder uses the traditional fiction-driven plot arc with lengthy exposition and a stunning conclusion, which suits the creative nonfiction genre. Bill's reproduction of lengthy conversations, physical descriptions of people and locations, and the use of a timepiece to drive suspense are all clues to the genre. The first chapter, “Persona Non Grata,” places the reader in a smoky, opulent room with nothing but a wristwatch to pass the time. Bill rewinds time after finishing his first, high-action chapter to tell his grandfather's tale. Bill's father's life is chronicled first, followed by Bill's. As Bill's first controversy occurs while working at Maxwell Communications, the excitement returns. His professional journey takes him through Europe until settling in Moscow, Russia. Bill's naiveté about Russian corruption still defies belief. Even with proof of each, he can't think of a justification for any official to bribe, cheat, or steal. He develops a careful persona of the reserved, unassuming American who becomes a folk hero, complete with rose-colored glasses. Simultaneously, he shows a razor-sharp mind that focuses on a company's weaknesses and profiteers from them. He worries about the oligarchy taking advantage of Russia's voucher scheme to enrich them, while oblivious to the fact that he has just done the same. Bill is a numbers guy, and his numbers have made him a lot of money. That isn't to suggest his account isn't plausible. The argument against the Interior Ministry, the Russian prison system, tax officials, and Vladimir Putin, on the other hand, seems indisputable to the reader. Browder moves slowly from one piece of evidence to the next, is not afraid to call names, and provides enough detail for a curious reader to find the evidence on the Internet.
