About the Author: In the years since the publication of his first novel, THE MOSCOW CLUB, Joseph Finder has established himself as one of the world’s best and most successful thriller writers. His 2006 novel, KILLER INSTINCT, made bestseller lists around the country, as did his two previous books, COMPANY MAN and PARANOIA. His novel HIGH CRIMES became a hit movie starring Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman, and his novel ZERO HOUR was also purchased for Hollywood.

Born in Chicago, he moved around the world with his family, spending much of his early childhood in Afghanistan and the Philippines. He later moved with his family to Bellingham, Washington and then to Albany, New York where he attended high school.
