Joseph Finder began his career with the Cold War thriller The Moscow Club in 1991, but he found his niche writing about the dangers hiding inside boardrooms and offices. His standalone thrillers, including Paranoia, Company Man, Killer Instinct, and Power Play, focus on characters drawn into webs of corporate deception and betrayal. These books earned him a reputation as the leading writer of corporate thriller fiction.
His Nick Heller series, starting with Vanished in 2009, follows a private intelligence operative who takes on cases involving powerful people and buried secrets. Heller is a former military intelligence officer who now works as a private spy-for-hire, and the series combines corporate intrigue with the pace of an action thriller. The series includes novels like Buried Secrets, Guilty Minds, and House on Fire.
Finder’s earlier nonfiction book Red Carpet explored the Soviet Union’s intelligence networks, and that research background informs the authentic detail in his fiction. His novels have been translated into over 25 languages, and High Crimes was adapted into a feature film. His 2025 novel The Oligarch’s Daughter is his most recent release.
